  • I really disagree with your first sentence. A few of the icons are obvious, but most are extremely vague. I actually use a Mac every day at work and I can’t tell you what half of these icons are for (I guess I don’t use them). For example the rocket icon, the book (is it a reader or a dictionary or what?), Safari’s icon looks like a map app since it’s a compass.

    I don’t know what the history/clock icon is for and the app store icon is just terrible, and has even fewer context clues in languages where the word “app” doesn’t start with a Latin A character.

    Icons rely on all kinds of assumptions and cultural cues. They might as well be hieroglyphics to people who aren’t familiar with them, which is why they need to come with labels or tooltips.

    I mean, people are allowed to have preferences. I also find it hypocritical that the thread OP is acting like everyone else is super misogynistic when his first thought was to check himself out if he was Taylor Swift. Cause my first thought was to do something good with the billion dollars she has. Not that I think she’s a bad person or anything.

    Second thought was now I actually have musical talent, so I’d go play all her fancy guitars



  • Ubuntu resets my default audio every time I put it to sleep. I have no idea why, other distros didn’t do this. Sometimes it fails to detect the speakers on my laptop completely.

    I’ve found Ubuntu to need a lot less effort than other distros so I’m not planning to ditch it yet, but even Ubuntu still has weird quirks like this.

    Also, some apps fail to open in x11 for some reason so I have to switch to a Wayland session every now and then. And then switch back to x11 because other apps won’t open in Wayland.

    Linux always has some weird usability issue no matter how many distros I’ve tried. It’s getting a lot better but it’s not there yet.
