When I buy a laptop it always comes with windows. I always play with it a day or two. Install Linux and that's it. Have used osx or macOS a few times, but it's not my thing.
Anyway software I use (that probably also works with macOS).
Meld (tools to compare 2 text files)
Firefox (still the best open source browser)
VLC (video player)
Filezilla (ftp client)
Audacity (audio editor)
Franz (chat client for lots of services)
Thanks I have been using Manjaro for a few years now and like it, but didn't know about those issues. Like how aur scripts are not checked. Maybe it's time to switch around again.
The only reason I switched from Mint to Manjaro was that my new laptops video card wasn't supported (like mint wouldn't boot). But that was a few years ago, so it's probably not an issue anymore.
I used to like Ubuntu but hated Unity and hate snap.
I discovered yesterday evening that Lemmy.ml is blocking all inbound ActivityPub requests from /kbin instances. Specifically, a 403 'access denied' is returned when the user agent contains "kbinBot" anywhere in the string. This has been causing a cascade of failures with federation for many server owners, flooding the message...
At first I thought it was maybe a config error to block bots. But after some testing I see that the 403 is only given when the word "kbinbot" is in the user agent. String that just return the normal response I tested are "testbot", "kbinbo", "binbot".
I am going to judge a lot of them for driving like assholes. There's a reason people call them Tasshole.
At least where I live Tesla is a good option for overpaid office guys, the guys that used to drive a BMW or Audi. Lots of Tesla drivers that are impatient, aggressive and just annoying on the road.

Pretty interesting opinion piece on some of the UX hurdles open source and federated software faces.
