I recently got the Garmin Instinct Crossover with solar charging, basically if you turn off all the features that the OP did you get infinite battery life more or less. It functions as a normal watch with hands and can do most of the smart notifications. I've turned off all notifications apart from calls/messages so it doesn't constantly beep and have been very happy with it so far.

I was sure it was going to be about it as well! 3D touch was a really cool feature. I also find now that it’s a lot easier to activate the flashlight or camera on the Lock Screen since they are not ‘buttons’ any more

I appreciate where you’re coming from but experiencing the joy of dual clutch automatics and their shifts in BMWs and Audis that I had the joy to diving might change your mind. The latency you mention is really not there. Admittedly I could not service it if it broke but aren’t cars consumables now?

I think this 100%. The problem with Linux is that it’s not controlled by a single company, there are many components developed by different contributors which have different interests. There is no single gui framework, no design guidelines so even the out-of-the-box software you get with any mainstream distribution doesn’t look cohesive. It simply lacks the polish of macOS.

Hardware wise I think if you use modern (i.e not older than 5 years) and also not just released hardware you are mostly ok. I haven’t had any driver problems, but that’s not to dismiss other peoples’ experience.

Whilst I agree with you for writing queries, the gui tools provide some nice tools. I haven’t used postico but I regularly use sequel pro and the ease to write a query and export results via csv that non technical people might need is a great feature. I’m sure there is a way to do it in command line but for me I find it a lot easier as I’m not a db admin.

Also gui tools are really useful for visualising content in tables with a lot of columns.

Text looks sooo much better in 4K. Antialiasing especially around curves kills text for me in 1080p. Plus if you have good eyesight you can fit more text on your screen.

iPad Pro 13 with the keyboard accessory? A bit pricey for what it is but I run my whole workflow away from my workstation on one of these. Super bright high resolution screen with excellent colours and iSh can be used with tmux on a vps if you need some light code editing.

Yeah I had exactly the same problem myself on iOS, I'm really promoting it to all my friends and family but this is quite a bad bug. Also I've noticed that sometimes that calls don't connect through and the person will only notice the missed call when he relaunches the app.
