I guess the list of things keeping me off catalina (and, by extension, new Mac hardware) just got one item longer.

I recently bought a new System76 laptop as a stopgap, but it might end up becoming permanent. Kind of a sad end for 25+ years of Mac use.

One thing that always turned me off of Windows was that I would be in the control panel or command line within 5 minutes of using any system to fix a preference, and how with OSX it was refreshing not to have to do the equivalent in System Preferences or terminal.

This is no longer true. It is a very similar and annoying experience for me.

I use OSX, Windows and various versions of Linux.

The browser is the real platform at this point and is the shared experience between all three.

Hah, I don't remember the last time I set up any OS and didn't have to change settings on first boot.

Maybe OS X 10.4 worked for me out of the box.

The longer you use a computer, the more you expect certain behavior, and the less you get it out of the box.
