This looks great, but not for the US market! https://store.chuwi.com/products/corebook-x-i3-1220p?#descs

Based on past experience, I wouldn't buy chuwi hardware unless you're willing to treat it as disposable

Good to know... at that price it almost is. I just want a half way decent Linux laptop that isn't FHD or 5 years old. Carbons are more than I want to pay for something 'for fun'.

That's less expensive than the ASRock NUC BOX-225H I bought... and that was without RAM/NVMe.

Awful cheap UX, cartoonish style with huge padding, lack of structure and hierarchy. The spacing is inconsistent, everything is rounded. The app launcher stutters, the icons load one by one, it flickers each time I do the 4 finger gesture. Why does the volume bubble have tick marks but the one in the menu doesn't? The trash icon looks like the windows recycle bin or gnome theme from 20 years ago, not sure why it's fl…

You explained the design inconsistencies the best. Though I’m worried that instead of fixing the underlying problems, they’re just going to make a bullet list of what people mention here and change those only. Then we’re going to have an OS where no two screens have the same paddings etc.

What the hell happened to the Apple design guides. Did all the engineers who read them retire.

I've been running it since the RC and am currently in the process of uninstalling it. The new UI is so incredibly ugly I honestly cannot understand how they thought it was acceptable to even released as a beta let alone an RC and now release. There's SO much padding and wasted screen real estate, disjointed looking floating inner panels, window corners that are so rounded you see gaps in full screen apps, inconsisten…

That was my experience with liquid glass on mobile. I’d heard it was bad, thought it couldn’t possible be that bad then tried it and was flabbergasted. Really unfortunate.

I made the mistake of updating my phone, and immediately regretted it. We tried Liquid Glass already, it was called mid-aughts Windows. It sucked then, and it sucks now.

I'm glad I'm not the only one getting Vista vibes with this look.

and vista was MORE beautiful than this vomit

At last Apple implemented a decent clipboard history. KDE has this thing for a decade now, I guess... KDE also can encode entries as QR codes, so you can make URLs transferable to your phone or whatnot. -- Sent from my MacBook Air.

KDE doesn't have infinite clipboard history yet, like the GPaste extension for GNOME Shell has.

CopyQ works for forever history for me, it also doesn't save copied passwords, which is nice.

I count four different corner radius sizes currently on my screen, which is maddening. Apple has a thing against people with OCD. Or taste. The thing is horribly wasteful of screen real estate, and as someone who’s been writing a Mac blog for over two decades, I am so happy I started using Fedora two years ago—GNOME has its flaws, but it looks nicer than Tahoe.

Doesn't MS still have screens rendered like Windows 3.1 or Win95 in some corners of the OS?

Have they got any further on their roadmap to only allowing apps from the Mac store in this release?

This is tiresome. You cannot lock down development machines. If you pay attention you'll see that OSes made for development work will be the only ones not locked down. Android was a holdout but Google is now tightening the screws. MacOS, Linux, BSD, and Windows are the only OSes that can't be locked down. Microsoft tried but they abandoned that.

The reason Liquid Glass on macOS specifically is getting so much blowback is that it isn't just updating the translucency effect with the new glass refraction effect - they've also increased the border radius of most windows, increased paddings in toolbars, sidebars, etc. and overall made the UI much less information-dense, which is wild for a desktop OS. If they had just changed the translucency effect, I think this…

Border radius on everything on Apple devices has been progressively increasing, eventually I expect everything to be circular. No rectangles allowed.

And then they'll go back to rectangles and call it "innovation", "giving users more space"
