As far as I am personally concerned, FreeBSD is the best OS possible to use, and macOS is second best. OS choice is mostly a personal preference. The only thing I wasn't familiar with is MTP, which is apparently a Windows-specific protocol that Microsoft forced into the USB standard in later versions, and as far as I know across decades of using Linux, BSD, Windows, and macOS across multiple computers on the same network with shared peripherals I've never even used this protocol.

sshfs, which is built on top of FUSE, which is something you can install on a Mac and is not installed by default in most Linux distributions (although fair enough it's installed by default on Ubuntu). Mounting SSH is supported by 3rd-party tools, yes, but they're the same cross-platform 3rd-party tool you'd use in Linux. Mounting NFS is natively supported in macOS and has been for nearly a decade. When something requires high mouse precision (such as photo editing) I turn the sensitivity down.Ģ of these 3 things, I have done multiple times on a Mac. I set mine to have 400, 800, and 1600 DPI. My mouse has buttons for cycling through a number of sensitivity presets. Years of Quake and other fast paced shooters have elevated my mouse accuracy above that of your typical computer user, allowing me to function on the desktop at a high mouse sensitivity.ģ: On-the-fly DPI adjustments.

I can zip across a large display pretty quick.Ģ: Fine motor skills. I run my mouse at 1600 DPI, which is 2-4x higher than your typical typical cheap office mouse. How we deal with it? I think there are three factors, at least in my case ġ: Mouse sensitivity. This is because it is easier to build muscle memory without it, since a certain distance traveled with the mouse will always produce the same camera movement in game regardless of how fast the mouse was moved.

Some of us who grew up playing these games got used to using Windows with no mouse acceleration. If you've ever had a game glitch out and show a mouse cursor stuck in the middle of the screen, this is why. This meant that your OS mouse acceleration settings directly impacted how your mouse felt in game. Every frame it would measure the distance the cursor traveled from center and reset it to poll for mouse movement.

Way back in the late '90s and early '00s, lots of PC games with mouse look simply drew a window behind the game and placed the mouse cursor in the center. I had to pay for an app in order to properly emulate middle clicks on the touchpad! That's bonkers! Also, the fact that everything I want to tweak requires buying an app? Many of my gripes are listed elsewhere, but things like middle-click paste is something that is easy to write off but was actually a gigantic part of my process. The mobility makes up for it, and efficiency just isn't as important to my day-to-day for now. Overall I'd say I'm about 70% efficient vs on Linux, a bit less so when in active development. I switched because I stopped being a fulltime developer, my main machine was getting old (6 years), and macOS has good MS Office support. I could not get a mouse setup that worked (I'm strictly no acceleration, and macOS's acceleration was literally making my arm ache). I opted for the Magic Keyboard and Magic Touchpad, because I had a lot of trouble with everything else. Meanwhile, the battery life is insane (I've never brought the charger anywhere but my desk, and will often use it for a week out and about). Performance-wise, the M1 is very impressive, probably feels about 80% as fast as my 6 year old desktop (that sounds like snark, but it isn't).

I switched from Linux Mint desktop to an M1 Air last year.
