Even the top-of the line 16” MBPs have perceptively slower UI compared to M1 or my Linux workstation
Seriously? I haven't had a macOS machine where the UI wasn't perfectly smooth for, like, a decade?

Comparing an uncustomized OS to a customized one and then stating that it is a waste of time to customize the OS and hence the OS that cannot be customized is better is a bit... odd. I have no idea what a "custom WiFi icon" is but I'm guessing you bought something with prebundled apps. That is irrelevant to the discussion of consistency in one OS versus another (but of course important in the buying process but that'…
Ive installed Linux on dozens of machines, wifi works out the box on about 8/10. Bluetooth (after driver download) on about 1/3 without doing more troubleshooting. On Mac? Both work 100% of the time on every one I've purchased. That's the difference. 100% vs 80%. If my software deployments broke 20% of the time at work, I would be fired.
Linux supports far more hardware out of the box than either MacOS or Windows.
Gotta be honest, the last mac I ever used ran OS8 I think, maybe 9, it was one of the classic Mac os's either way. I know this is just a UI recreation and not the actual OS but as a long time KDE user, like over a decade, I can't help but think meh, why does this UI get so much praise? I can make my desktop look, act and behave literally any way I want, I can modify every single aspect of every single thing on my des…
Because I consider my time more valuable than the cost of the ecosystem. I have no interest to tweak anything, I use the computer to earn my paycheck and constant tinkering and tweaking is not part of it. Open source and free software is free only if you do not value your time enough.
Linux works perfectly if you select the right hardware for it (which is most hardware, just got to avoid a few obscure components).
If you're a developer or use any development tools at all, Linux is easily the best platform and will save you time. If you host anything on the internet, odds are it's a Linux host.
And even if you're just a regular user, if you don't need a specific piece of obscure software, Linux is super low maintenance as long as you didn't select that small amount of hardware that doesn't work.

> Why do people pay the premium for this UI Apple forces you to use? Because we like it. Why does that make you so upset? You could have spent the 10 minutes you spent typing that rant out in being productive with whatever you have instead of raging about my purchases with my money.
Can you provide some details other then just 'because we like it'? That's not really explaining things at all. That's just an emotional defensive response with nothing to back it up.
You’re the one coming in rambling about something just because “I don’t like it” and you expect people to donate their time to arguing with you?

However I got an M1 and can say this is no longer an issue. (despite having only 16GB RAM compared to the 32 on my 16" also). When using native apps the M1 laptop runs amazingly well, it is one of the best performing machines I have ever used for day to day use, even compared to my 5950X desktop system. Of course the 5950X will run circles around it with highly parallel workloads but on single thread the M1 is basically just as good.
This has a ton of clever tricks in it. https://github.com/PuruVJ/macos-web/blob/main/src/components... is the source code for the VSCode app - it actually works by adding an iframe around https://github1s.com/puruvj/macos-web
Yup!! No way in world will I build whole VSCode like structure around the monaco editor, just way too much work
