Have you used a Mac in the last 10 years, beyond just flicking the mouse around at a FutureShop?
Yes, last contract IT job (Macbook Pro, approx 10 months ago). I wanted to smash it in half over my knee and grab a random Thinkpad with my ventoy usb in hand.
Why? What was so bad about it?
For me it's mostly the 3-4 key keyboard shortcuts that need about 1.5 hands to press comfortably. Yes, printscreen, I'm looking at you.
Also, why the fuck is F4 used to open the app drawer thingy? (no idea what it's called) It's so far away from where my hands normally rest!
You can disable the FN shortcuts so that they're just regular F# keys. The print screen thing is fair though admittedly in so used to them that I've set them as shortcuts on my main Plasma desktop lol
I always disable the fn shortcuts. It drives me crazy that they're enabled by default most of the time.
