What’s interesting is that I recently got a MB Air after being away from Mac since ~2019. The touchbar on the keyboard and awful keyboard quality drove me away.

Now I return from having spent the intervening years with an Ubuntu laptop and Windows 10 desktop as my daily drivers at home and Windows 11 at work for the last year.

MacOS is so much better than any of the alternatives. Maybe the bar really is just too low but that’s my experience.

The grass is not greener on the other side.

Openbox does everything I need it to. I don’t want Mac or Windows, they both suck in ways I can’t change.

Sure, Linux can be rougher, but at least I’m not helpless here. I can make the changes I need, and the software is generally less broken IME.

One can still legitimately complain that the grass of their particular backyard is getting ungreener by the minute.

Didn't they get rid of it a couple of years ago?

That was one of the reasons I even considered getting a new MB Air yes; I certainly wouldn't if they'd still have those.
