Finder is ass, no feature to get filepath, no feature to open location in terminal, no way to go to parent folder (the button that looks like it does this actually is a "back" button that takes you to previous location).

Also you can't quit Finder for some reason. On my Debian VM I can quit Dolphin. Finder is probably embedded to show files on the desktop. (I've never understood having the desktop be a directory, seems like bloat to me.)

Overall the DE is a lot worse than Plasma:

• Why isn't the Dock (taskbar that eats 300 to 1200 MB of ram) a screen edge for moving windows
• Why won't you let me customize stuff
• Why are app actions in the DE top bar rather than the window name bar

It's also a walled garden that intentionally makes compiling apps for it hard for small devs (you need to be verified by apple to have your app not be flagged as "probably a virus")

The only good thing about MacOS is that it is a very stable OS that rarely needs fixing.

I'm installing Asahi Linux as soon as it supports DisplayPort over USB-C.

Better laws would be:

• to mandate open source relaease at EOS
• automatically public domain at EOS
• require paid operating systems to supporr hardware from 15 years ago (as a consumer protection law, so that it only applies to paid OS's (and also ones that require a license, even if it’s “free” due to coming with the hardware), so that foss projects arent hurt)
