>All constantly have stupid quality problems or fail to operate as well as they should.

And my guess is that your "operate as the should" is probably some very personal opinions about how an OS should function based on your personal workflow, that you assume should be the defacto standard.

But for the sake of the argument, lets just assume that your standard is actually optimal from an efficiency standpoint. In that case, the argument to make in case of Mac would be this: Out of the box, Macs are closer to optimal, but technically Linux is is better because you can customize it to be exactly optimal.

If you’ve got a clean solution for getting cmd-style shortcuts so you don’t have to deal with the how-is-this-still-a-thing-in-2024 problem of conflicting shortcuts in terminals, on Linux, I’d love to know what it is. And that’s just the start of it.

I can play that game.

Let me know when Mac gets rid of their stupid useless apple and function keys that is somehow still a thing in 2024, to where you have to bend your pinky unnaturally to get to the apple key, and even more so to the control key instead of just combining them in a single key like the rest of the modern world.

And that just the start of it.
