  • You haven’t really told us what you do with your system, so I wouldn’t expect substantive answers here.

    I don’t mind having to fiddle with things and get them working, I enjoy it. It makes me feel like I have actual tech skills when I absolutely do not. But on the device I use for school I just want something that works and I never have to think about.

    I had similar expectations when I got a Mac assigned by my work, and was frustrated to learn that 1) the system is a long shot from “always works”, and 2) that making it fit my existing workflows required much more time or a paid solution (for example, fixing mouse behavior required me to trial 4 apps before finding LinearMouse).

    I now have an approximation of my preferred environment, but it is honestly a major step down.
