Goes for Linux too.

I have the flexibility to adjust to platforms other than macOS but I’d rather not have to. My setup works for me and having to change it is annoying and drags down productivity.

In my case it’s more intense than usual because I’m a visual person and my productivity suffers for things like my desktop environment, theme, etc not looking “right”. When using Linux for anything more “serious” than studying with Anki I get pulled down a bottomless rabbit hole of trying to “fix” everything, which is futile because many of the problems can’t be fixed without a huge number of project forks.

Recent editions of MacOS look so bad that Windows might actually be better designed (if it weren't for all the windows ads and spam).

Gnome is starting to become the nicest desktop environment lol.
