OS Annoyances
OSX:
- finder is fairly awful
- cmd-tab is essentially broken to accommodate photoshop
- need to run vms for development
- userland:
- bsd userland sucks
top
is garbage
- no
free
- no procfs equivalent
- UI and command line do not feel integrated (and All My Damn Process Names Are Capitalized)
- the terminals aren't very good (yes even iTerm2)
Linux:
- hardware stuff:
- touchpad support is "functional" which means it is bad
- 2 year old MacbookAir 6,2 webcam still completely unsupported or "install some guys super experimental patches off github"
- power management is poor (a recent kernel patch-level update broke battery detection!)
- suspend/hibernate can be hit/miss (DE problem I think)
- basic peripheral setup, eg. network printers, mostly sucks
- 3 or 4 half-baked DE that will be abandoned before they are fully polished
- Gnome3 copies all of OSX's egonimics (even bad ones), KDE is a mess
