macOS and iOS 26 are quite bad.

Really wanna discuss the current windows debacles? Come on! Apple software regressed but it’s not outright hostile bad still.

  • That's an extremely low bar, Windows has been shit for a long time and has basically only degraded. Some people think Windows 10 was good, it wasn't, they just haven't used Windows for long enough.

    Apple software isn't bad, but it is often obtuse and buggy. And, with iOS 26, usability has taken a big hit.

what is bad for you? was you at linux or windows - may be apple is best of all bad?

Give the competitors a try...

  • On macOS when I alt-tab to a full-screen app it takes forever. On KDE when I alt-tab to a full-screen app it's instantaneous.

    On macOS when I connect or disconnect an external monitor, my applications get all confused on where they should display, especially if I then reconnect a monitor. On KDE when I unplug my monitor everything goes nicely onto one desktop. When I put a monitor back in, everything goes back to where it was before. It just works.

    On macOS, every time I install a new program I need to do some dance with System preferences to allow it to run. I tried some command line settings that supposedly disables this, but it never sticks. Every few months, the process is different than it was before. On KDE, I just run my software and it works.

    On macOS, I don't have useful window snapping behavior or full-screen behavior, nor am I able to have focus follow my mouse. On KDE, I have these.

    macOS just doesn't work for me. But the competitors have a good solution.
