One of my favorite memories about Macs was in the school computer lab. I crashed the system by plugging in a USB with a word doc I needed on it. Nothing more than plugging a USB in and getting a stack trace. The lab monitor was adamant that I couldn’t have crashed the mac because iT jUsT wOrKs and basically blue screened when he saw it.
Good times. Mainly because I haven’t been forced to use it outside of labs.
When was this? In my school years, the lab Macs were garbage. But I’ve had much better experience with more recent Macs (though I’d prefer to not use them in general).
Mac OS is heavily Unix-based, it’s not a terrible operating system. But it is an awful user experience if you’re not used to it.
I’ve been having to use a modern Mac for the first time in a new job, and I think you summed up my experience with it perfectly. God I hate how “helpful” everything is about the user experience
