Things I can’t do on macOS which I can do on Ubuntu (2020)
Sure I&#x27;ll bite.. You&#x27;re talking about Ubuntu, but can you do everything with Ubuntu running KDE or any other WM&#x2F;DE? You probably mean GNOME or Unity. Didn&#x27;t they abandon Unity? I dunno what&#x27;s current, and frankly I don&#x27;t care!<p>&gt; Resize the system font. I find the menu bar at the top too small. The only way to do this on MacOS is to lower the resolution of the entire screen!<p>- Accessibility -&gt; Display -&gt; Menu bar size<p>&gt; Change the system font. I know you like Helvetica San Francisco - but I find it a bit too thin to read.<p>- Seems like you have to change the resolution of your monitor if everything is too small. It won&#x27;t impact the rest, as applications can still use the native resolution if needed.<p>&gt; Focus Follow Mouse. I have multiple screens and multiple windows. I want to be able to hover over a new one and start interacting with it without clicking.<p>- Fair, although scrolling does work. It&#x27;s just it won&#x27;t transfer focus.<p>&gt; Change my mouse button order. On Linux, this is a complex command-line incantation. On MacOS it is impossible. I use a vertical mouse and use my thumb to click. RSI FTW!<p>- Mouse -&gt; Primary mouse button: left&#x2F;right. Or use tools<p>&gt; Read files from MTP devices. If I stick a USB cable between my phone and Linux laptop, I can see the Android files on my laptop. I can open them, move them around, etc. On a Mac I need to install some shonky 3rd party software which rarely works.<p>- On Android you can set the type of connection when you plug it in (debug&#x2F;dev&#x2F;files). I guess that all depends on which Android you have?<p>&gt; Always on top windows. Sometimes I want to keep the calculator on screen while I type an email. Is that too much to ask?<p>- There are tools for that or you can script it. Applications that really need it usually have it built in.<p>&gt; No way to remove UI elements. I don&#x27;t want a notification icon in the top right of my screen. I prefer having the clock on the left. Trivial in Linux, static in MacOS.<p>- Correct<p>&gt; Window snapping. On Ubuntu, I drag a window to the side or to a corner, and it snaps into position. Vital when using multiple windows at once. On Mac there&#x27;s a half-hearted splitscreen view which only supports horizontal splitting. Useless on a vertical monitor.<p>- There are tools for this. But yeah the splitscreen really sucks.<p>&gt; See tooltips. I can&#x27;t see them on Mac when I have a larger cursor. Weird!<p>- You found a minor UI issue<p>&gt; Mount an SSH or NFS drive. In Ubuntu, I get a nice little GUI for picking network shares. Impossible on Mac.<p>- Sure. There are tools for it, but there&#x27;s also a connect window. Not as nice though.<p>&gt; Wobbly Windows! Seriously MacOS. Where&#x27;s the fun?<p>- I dunno.. The genie effect?
