For me, it’s a social activity where I can enjoy with close friends. I also don’t have a 4K TV or surround sound system, so the audio and visual quality is miles ahead in the theatre than my 1080p TN LCD flatscreen and Bluetooth speaker.
I’m completely with you and I daily drive Linux. It’s not just Lemmy, there is a vocal majority I’ve anecdotally seen that have this thing to push Linux onto everyone.
I used to be the same, until a friend I was pestering outright told me that it was ruining our friendship and Linux does not fit his needs, and it’s not something he’s open to.
Ever since, I’ve taken the approach of just never bringing it up and while I’ll happily answer questions, I accept people still need Windows and aren’t ready for such a sudden switch, because contrary to what that vocal majority says, it is a completely different environment for normies and takes a lot of mental energy and adjustment to get used to an entirely different system, even if the interface is near identical.
Side note: having this vocal majority seems to be a thing I’ve also seen in other vegans, surely there’s a term coined for this phenomenon because it’s certainly not limited to Linux users.
I’ll second that even in Sequoia now you mention it.
If I’m in a full screen application and I Exposé, the main desktop apps are in view despite the full screen application being highlighted. Swiping left or right between desktops updates something that corrects this, but definitely doesn’t feel like intended behavior.
I have dock magnification on and in certain situations, the cursor will leave the dock but the magnification effect remains where it last saw the cursor.
I haven’t kept up with the latest minor updates to Tahoe, but I’ve been staying back on Sequoia because while Tahoe looks very pretty and I’m glad to finally see a potential end to Material design, the readability issues with Tahoe are legitimate and rolling back to Sequoia has been a breath of fresh air.
I jumped over to the Mac world from Linux only this year (although I still keep my X260 with LMDE around) but perhaps it was the worst time to do so - I’ll see how I feel once Sequoia support ends and whether Asahi Linux would be more viable.
I think my initial shock was that he’s my supervisor and couldn’t even identify that it was a standard outside of the Galaxy S5, so it brings any IT knowledge of his into question.
That being said, he was pretty open about us technicians knowing more about the nitty gritty computing than he did, so his lack of IT knowledge wasn’t a major issue as he was a decent team leader, which I found more important to his position.
I had a boss who called that connector the “Samsung plug” when I had an external HDD and was trying to find a cable for it. I had an S5 for years, so I knew exactly what he was talking about, not that it quelled my shock given he was the team lead of IT support.
Needless to say he was (and still probably is) a huge Samsung guy
Completely agreed. My TV is some cheap Akai 24" thing, but at least it’s a dumb TV with a built-in DVD player, so I still enjoy it. The speakers on it are absolutely garbage, so that’s why I bother with a separate speaker. I too live in very small housing and frequently move about, so having any kind of speaker system is just not feasible.
