PewDiePie made a video on why he installed Linux and explained why everyone should do it too. Due to his number of followers, this might be the year of the Linux Desktop? Hooray?

    I have, we’re a multi-OS houshold. Linux, Steam Deck, Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android.

    Different tools for different purposes. You wouldn’t have just one kind of screwdriver, right?

      I get having Linux and Windows, after all you need a backup solution for when you can’t use Linux. But why do you also have a Mac?

      Then I guess iOS makes sense if you have a Mac, but why also have Android?

              M4 Mac user here happy to shed some light onto this. It’s actually very intuitive:

              “Full screen” on Mac means the current App window becomes a new temporary virtual desktop, which is placed after your normal virtual desktops. It also turns off the status bar / app menu, although you don’t get that screen space back because of the camera notch, it’s just blacked out.

              Note that how many virtual desktops you have and which one is selected is specific to each display. So if you like multitasking, it really helps if you’re good at remembering all of them in the correct order including any fullscreen apps and the display they were on. And I hope you don’t mind performing the same swiping gesture multiple times to get back to your fullscreen app. Also you can’t move it between displays.

              You might just want to maximize your app window instead. Though you may need third-party software to do that.

                I’ve used apps in fullscreen for as long as it’s been possible, and I’ve honestly never found it confusing at all.

                You can move them across displays. Just open Mission Control then drag it from one screen to another. Or drag it to a desktop if you want.

                As for maximising; just double click the bar at the top of the window. No extra software needed.

                Now that macOS supports window tiling there’s a number of ways to lay out app windows. Fuck Stage Manager though. I’ve never been able to work out the point of it.

          Windows for interoperability.

          Try job hunting without a Windows machine. Good luck!

          (My wife hates it when she hits websites that don’t work properly and starts swearing, then I ask “Are you using a real browser or just Safari?” - “FUCK YOU!” Somehow we’re still married. 😀)

            I don’t have any problem job hunting on a Linux box. Why would that matter?
