Oh, and then there is that aspect of it that unixes in general were not built with the desktop in mind, so things like vm.swappiness defaults might be completely wrong (Ubuntu still defaults to 60 to this day!) and the kernel low memory handling is just outrageously bad, if you compare it to Windows, for instance. As a consequence, nobody wants to do them, and so the Linux desktop will probably always be a mess. They are notoriously hard to get right, require lots of work invested, and easy to break (regressions!) but are not too sexy or interesting, require insane amounts of QA and don't have low hanging fruits. Things like battery life, suspend/resume and proper handling of multiple/hidpi displays are the Achilles heels of open source projects. Shouldn't have been on in the first place, on this production system.)

Its not 100%, but its certainly better than having arbitrary decisions forced on me by the OS masters in Cuppertino.

Linux is catching up in a big way, especially for use as Audio/Media workstation.

More and more, I'll replace the Mac with an Ubuntu Studio-oriented DAW, and then I'll phase out using Macs entirely.

just utterly disappointed, and more the point I feel exploited just so that Apple can update its OS and force us to move onto their next big thing. I just suffered through an automatic update on MacOS to Catalina - this has been the most painful, idiotic thing to happen in my studio in a long time, and I now feel about Apple the way I did about Microsoft last century, when I abandoned them. everything just works, and with every update the system is more and more of a joy to work with. I run both Ubuntu and MacOS systems in my studio, each functioning as DAW's in various capacities, and I find myself feeling very relieved, more and more, whenever I sit in front of the Ubuntu Studio DAW to work. I see this as similar to the discussions made about non-English speakers being disadvantaged when learning programming languages. None of what you said it technically nor morally wrong despite the points I've made. That all said, I don't mean any of this as a criticism of yourself nor what you had written. So at best developers are depriving themselves of a future growth market but at worst they're excluding deprived sections of society who are already isolated from the IT industry as it is.

For example the OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) project that runs Fedora on low powered machines.Įven for people who can save up for new machines and do install Linux on them, that $100 is still an additional expense they wouldn't have needed irrespective of any comparisons to Microsoft nor Apple "taxes".įor these people, particularly the first group, Electron simply isn't an option. > Also when you're less fortunate but managed to save up for a machine, you now have the option to spend the money that would have otherwise gone to deepen Apple/MS pockets, on more RAM instead.įor many people it's not even a case of "saving up for a machine," because they might be using donated hardware.

I hope someone will recognize the gap in the market and jump in to produce 13 inch, retina screen uni-body metal notebooks with the ability to upgrade the parts and with all the ports you still need when not living in some bubble where magically everything was converted into USB-C overnight. Some people like to use the Thinkpad X1 or the Dell XPS as a replacement but I don't have any hands-on experience with those. Also many people like to carry their notebooks around with one arm / hand and of course this will be a huge difference then. In comparison the MBP 2012 and a MBP 2016 do not differ in weight so much (1.4kg vs 2kg which is basically a package of flour) and if I am honest I don't really recognize the difference when carrying them in my backpack.īut it depends on the bag as well, because if you use a messenger bag for example the strain on the shoulder and the back is probably noticeable. Ok I am sorry I assumed you did - so thank you for not dragging me down :-D It must have been some anonymous jerk who doesn't have the balls to tell me what upset him and give me the chance to argue with him.
