apexe··on Desktop Linux – The Case for a Single Distro
As a new Linux user, I used to think along these lines as well. The problem is that the whole reason I was using Linux in the first place was my dissatisfaction with the offerings from Apple and Microsoft. I started on Ubuntu and became dissatisfied with that. I tried a handful of other flavors and eventually settled on Arch.

One of the issues I see with requesting Linux consolidate to become more like Windows or MacOS is that the people who abandon those platforms likely will not be happy with a one-size-fits-all solution. From my perspective, the diversity of choices is one of the main strengths of the platform. If there is already a platform that better suits your needs you have no reason to switch in the first place.

It took several minutes of rewatching the clips to notice any difference, but I think I see it now. I'm amazed anyone was able to catch this.
apexe··on Apple Engineers Its Own Downfall with the Macbook Pro Keyboard
I am in the same boat. Received one at work and can not stand the keyboard. I requested an older model, but they are no longer providing them. It might seem dramatic, but I spend my days typing and I need my keyboard to not get in my way. I have resorted to bringing a USB keyboard into work with me.
