Re: The Neo cannot scale with macOS behind on the basics
#3I remember circa 2017 working for startups and traveling a lot. Most of the people were using macs but I had an Alienware because that way I could have a real GPU and train neural nets locally.
Back then a mac worked much better with the docks I could find and monitors that had a dock plugged in. It was close to instant and "just works" on the Mac whereas the Windows computer would take 45 seconds to enumerate the dock every time.
The other day we had a power failure that caused my home server which normally runs headless to go down and stay down. Right next to that server is a Mac with a Studio display which has no ordinary ports like HDMI, DVI, VGA, DisplayPort, whatever. I had to take the server upstairs and plug it into a old cheap monitor I had there and it turned out that somehow the *-extras package didn't get installed by Ubuntu and I had no network card drivers. Not hard to fix, but another illustration of how Apple products often are just a little less useful and valuable than they could be.

I don’t think TFA said Windows is better overall, but c’mon, even a diehard Mac user like myself can see how stagnated, say, task/app switching is on macOS in comparison to Windows. And things like Mission Control always seemed like a “we’ll come back and polish that up later” feature, but they never did come back to it.

I've used macs for pushing 20 years. The external monitor story remains crap. Even on a recent mbp and a $1500 LG 5k ultrawide. Plug it in and the display flickers back and forth. etc. Apple do not care.

I’ve had that exact thing happen in Ubuntu too. Needed a usb Ethernet dongle to get it working again.

Hyperswitch and Hyperdock solved the problems for me. Couldn't live without actual alt-tab behavior or window previews.
