  • Idk at this point Linux is definitely in a better place games wise than macOS, coming from someone who uses both.

    While there are games being released natively on (macOS) sometimes, they are far fewer in number than the number of games running like-native or better through proton on Linux systems. Also even when there is a Mac version, it often lags behind in terms of updates / support in general.

    I think both OSs have their upsides and downsides, from a user experience standpoint they both benefit from the lack of obnoxious Microsoft billshit that plagues windows these days.




  • For certain things it makes sense to have an app imo, for instance music streaming services the desktop experience just has more features, plays better with my preamp/headphones and so on.

    For something like Netflix it’s extremely irritating that they either intentionally gimp the experience of using the service on many browsers (IIRC Netflix is capped at 720p in Firefox still) or try to force users into using the app (see YouTube attempting to automatically redirect you to the app anytime you try to watch a video in the browser).
