I Use Arch BTW

In my previous post I talked about my frustration that the used Thinkpad I bought was crashing when unplugged in Linux. My conclusion at the end of the post was that I would return to Mac OS. Well that lasted about 1 day. I'm back to Linux on the Thinkpad, here's what happened (with added rants about Mac OS and Windows): After using Linux on my System76 for a few months, Mac OS felt...old? Everything was laggy: the animation for switching spaces, launching apps, even typing. Sure, my Mac is a 5+ year old computer at this point (14" MacBook M1 Pro), but still, it shouldn't feel that bad. Then there's how Apple treats you like a child. Want to install that app you downloaded? No, it's too dangerous (aka the developer didn't pay us)! We recommend you just throw it away. In parallel to dealing with Mac OS, I went through the terrible process of installing Windows 11 on the Thinkpad with the idea of giving it to my wife. Seriously, I can't properly articulate how awful Windows 11 is these…
