Same for me even with vanilla ubuntu. "It just works" used to be true for macos, and linux was for tinkering. Now, Ubuntu "just works" (and fast!).

I want a system that works out of the box with sensible defaults. What a strange turn of events that this is a linux system now.

Exactly! "It just works" used to be true for macos, and linux was for tinkering. Now, ubuntu "just works" (and fast!).

It's not just that macos is slow and window management is strange. Last time I had a macbook (M2 pro) I needed 3rd party software just to use a 4k external monitor without blurring.

I was using a new macbook pro and another machine with ubuntu. Compared with ubuntu, macos is soo slow I had to stop using it.

I like that you go beyond just prompt engineering and "LLM as a judge" and use finetuned (?) ModernBert and Llama models.

In your previous post you mentioned that you "score 20+ dimensions". Are these generic dimensions for all use cases / users, or do you finetune individually for each user?

And that is the Unix philosophy

This is much needed on mac os. But why? Back in the day, mac os was supposed to "just work", and linux was for weirdos who had too much time and customized everything. But now, it's the opposite. Vanilla flavor ubuntu just works out of the box. And mac os needs tons of third party customization. Same with external monitors, on mac one needs 3rd party software for properly scaling the UI on a 4k monitor. That's core OS functionality, not something one should need an extension for.
