It could be just me, but every time I tried to do something I sat thinking that I am not the target audience for this thing. I don't like the UI, I hate not being able to talk to the hardware the way I can on linux (uart took me way too long to get working), I am angry that I am not able to run kvm, I hate not being able to replace the desktop and fix bugs myself. That's what makes it terrible for me.

So you're upset an operating system that is called macOS is not in fact Linux. Gotcha.

pretty much, it's unix and I want it to be unix, but I get the worst parts of linux and windows combined.

Interesting - I run a nearly identical set, with many TLDs configured in `/etc/resolver/X` and dnsmasq handling the resolve and I have not had a single issue.

the resolver confs all contain this content:

    # /etc/resolver/example-private
    nameserver: 127.0.0.1
    domain example-private
I noticed in the author's bug report they do not include `domain`, which is documented in `man 5 resolver` as:

    # The domain directive is only necessary, if your local
    # router advertises something like localdomain and you have
    # set up your hostnames via an external domain.
In the real world though, I've found the `domain` setting to be required nearly every time. I wonder if adding it will resolve the issue?

Papercuts like this are why I moved away from macOS. I will say, I don't love the use of LLMs to write these bug reports. It's probably fine if reviewed, but at least review for things like "worked on macOS 25", which obviously didn't exist. If that wasn't caught, how sure are you that the rest of the report is accurate? We all want the bugs fixed, but people are going to start throwing out the obviously LLM written…

Its my strong belief that using AI in any capacity which does not upfront state "the following content was generated by artificial intelligence" is never acceptable. In most situations, allowing an AI to wield your name gives off the scent of "My time is more valuable than yours, so I've automated writing to you." It is quite disgraceful. If your use-case would be materially harmed by an upfront disclosure of AI gene…

How far do you take this policy?

1. Am I allowed to ask an AI to proofread a draft for grammatical errors?

2. Am I allowed to ask an AI to proofread a draft for technical errors?

3. In both #1 and #2, am I allowed to ask the AI to suggest revisions, or is it only allowed to point out what's wrong and why?

4. If I write a sentence like "Lucy's laughter ___ her underlying anxiety" and I'm having trouble coming up with the right word to fill in the blank, can I give the sentence to an AI and ask it for a list of possible options?

5. While brainstorming, can I use an AI as a souped up rubber duck before I begin writing?

I see you. These folks trying to talk you into liking MacOS are missing the point. You’re being perfectly clear about not liking it, and why — it’s not built for you. And that sucks, ‘cause their hardware is top-notch. It’s true pain.

Apple really is leaving everyone else years behind in making hardware. Yet they’ve never done what I would consider obvious geek-friendly things to MacOS. I’m sad about it too, and I wish the OS were better.

Source? [1] states 12% for macOS and 3% for Linux. [1]: https://gs.statcounter.com/os-market-share/desktop/worldwide...

That's desktop market share. I'm sure the comment you're replying to means overall usage including mobile and server, where Linux is far and away the leader.

Why would anyone compare market share of a desktop OS and include server / mobile / embedded?

macOS is not perfect but I don't think anyone could seriously argue that it is terrible.

It’s pretty bad. IPC doesn’t work reliably any more. The window manager is unusable. Spotlight misses results and also pegs the cpu, killing battery. Finder is bad enough on its own, but the 1:N mapping from logical directories to filesystem directories (like photos, home, applications, etc) makes it essentially unusable without spotlight. Notifications are flaky as hell (missing phone calls and messages from contact…

Which part of the OS is not terrible in your experience?

Not OP, but accessibility tools on mac put other desktop OSes to shame.
