> maybe I've been using macs too long

I think this is the main issue. You want your PC to work exactly like your Mac and are not prepared to learn the way the new system works.

Case in point: a lot of people complain about trackpad issues but Linux/windows do not use mouse gestures. You should learn to use gnome hot-zones and/or keyboard shortcuts because experience have shown us it is more efficient.

So basically "buy the newer hardware and shut up"?

> Linux out of the box without tweaking it will have a lot of behavior you may or may not agree with

I hear this from people who choose to use arch and Gentoo then complain that Linux requires much tweaking.

Install Ubuntu and be done with it. Or if you want things to work like a Mac, go with elementary OS.

If you still feel it's not _exactly_ to your liking, then I suggest you move back to osx.

To be fair, you started with arch which requires some attention.

Most professional users use Ubuntu since it's fairly polished and "just works".

BYOD it!

My company laptop is just used for Skype meetings. The real work happens on my ThinkPad.

Although now that enough people have copied my approach it has now been grudgingly approved by IT.

> To this end, we will be making Microsoft’s technical specification for exFAT publicly available to facilitate development of conformant, interoperable implementations.

How about their FAT patents??

You are correct, but how many applications need push notifications?

I find Will Wheaton's audiobook narration very annoying.

Stopped reading Red Shirts because of his childish voice acting.

> 1. As you stated, Google forces devs to rely on presence of the Google Play Services

Not forcing per se. Google just provides a convenient services that devs are happy to use.

There are similar things in PC land and most of the time they can be disabled.

Things do not look as good in mobile space (mainly thanks to Qualcomm)

> You have to be cautious to buy compatible laptop hardware, and still there's always something not working on new setups, usually sleep, sound, GPU compositor, bluetooth, etc.

Technically, there are more 100% Linux compatible laptops than macos dito...

That is true even if you limit yourself to thinkpads

zram has been replaced with some other technology (z-something, can't remember the name) that also compresses swap and removed duplicate pages.

Linux distribution often have a parallel system for bleeding edge software.

On Ubuntu, it's snap.
