A new "clean design" with all extraneous menus and buttons removed!

(Yes, this concept of "control everything through an AI" is just a command line, but worse. But that's not how the investors see it!)

Productivity will plummet. And capital will blame lazy workers, and no one with power to ditch this buggy junk will identify it as part of the problem. Because that's what always happens when common work tools are enshittified.

I literally have to fight my work laptop whenever I use it because of windows. Can't wait for it to get worse.

Hopefully I move to a company that gives me a MacBook.

Yep. Windows sucks. I've given up on it too. 🐧

If I had to deal with a Work Computer, I'd probably agree with you. Anything's gotta be better than Windows. And Unix-like is Unix-like, I guess, so some CLI stuff should work the same even if huge chunks of the system are different.

Mac is like light years ahead of Windows in everything. CLI is great and the UI is uniform. It also runs smoothly. And the battery life is incredible, best in the world hands down.

Unfortunately that is true, if you had to pick between swallowing the windows or macos pill and can't install linux on them, macos would probably work out more

Put in that situation by a workplace or other tightly controlled institutional setting, I'd probably moan, but mutter "at least it's Unix" and give it a fair shot.
