Operating Systems

I’ve already tried using my iPad as a laptop replacement while traveling, but this time, I try to use it as a desktop replacement. This is how it went.

I’ve been thinking about replacing my 2019 Intel MacBook with a desktop and using my M2 iPad Air as a mobile workstation instead. This is my experience with it.

When Apple’s newest lineup of operating systems was released in September I didn’t hesitate to install it on all of my Apple devices like I do every year. I wish I hadn’t this time.

I recently came across a post on How-To Geek about how the author gave Windows a serious shot as his primary operating system for two years, but kept coming back to his Mac. That’s been my experience too.

As a long-time Mac user, I find the lack of consistency in Windows’ UI utterly baffling, even in system applications from Microsoft.

My cousin’s 17-year-old daughter visited us and got the opportunity to try out my old iMac G3. The experience was amusing for both of us, albeit for different reasons.

Running KDE’s Dolphin File Manager on Windows is weird, but possible.

It’s nice that they’re at least moving to LibreOffice, but it’s still disappointing that they’re sticking to Windows for now.

Apple is changing all versions of their different operating systems to be the number 26. This is what I think about it.

Yesterday, I came across an article on Engadget where the author pointed out a very odd discrepancy in Apple’s use of fonts.

I have mixed feelings about this. More competition might lead to better pricing, but it might also lead to a disjointed user experience.

I recently ran into an article over at Ars Technica that contains the history of the Windows Start menu complete with screenshots of each major release of Windows, including a few beta versions.
