Yes it is a thing, and it is a beautiful thing.

Subscribed feed on lemmy.world from a MacBook Pro 2014 running Safari.

It hangs/freeze several times, unlike stock UI or old.lemmy.world.

Just relax, eat chips, and doom scroll your way to death

But Lemmy is down.

Well, for starters do you have a mac?

I wouldn’t attempt to try hackintosh or something like that in a non Apple product, not if you don’t like thinkering at least.

Obviously macOS works better with Apple products, performance and battery wise (for example in models where you can install Windows it sucks big time battery performance wise, and the hardware doesn’t help either).

What I like about my mac is that it is like having the best of Windows and Linux merged, you got a nice interface with good program support and also scratches the Linux itch with its terminal, and you can also install homebrew from there, very similar as you’d do from any Linux distro (I manage completely my Synology NAS from there with SSH for example, something that was not always possible in Windows natively).

The keyboard commands are nice as well.

Maybe I just feel that way because my OS journey went from Windows > Linux > macOS.

By no means it is a perfect OS, It sucks that it is not as customizable as the other two, also its window management sucks balls without the proper programs (apps/programs really improve the experience overall).

Honestly I don’t think I can cover all the good and bad things about this OS, or any other, if you are interested you can give a quick glance in any Apple store, but that is just the tip of the iceberg obviously.

The animations are smooth, only Summit can compare (indeed I think it is better as of now).

The app lasts longer in the multitask/app switcher and it almost always remembers your place on the feed.

You have peek to see posts, and those are one of the top features that come to my mind that not all the other apps have, but I know some do, like Voyager holds on the background a bit longer than other apps as well, and I am pretty sure some have peek to see as well.

At the end of the day nothing is wrong with one of another, the good thing is that we get options.

macOS and I like that despite how closed it is you can find new features, commands, apps and cool facts any day, I am gonna start to log all the good shit it has because my brain can’t keep up LMAO.

Call me crazy, but I don’t see people rocking laptops from 2008 until this date, I have seen people using Macs from that day using recent macOS versions (with OCLP) and some hardware tweaks like upgrading the RAM or SSD if needed, or replacing the battery.

Heck my Mac is from 2014 and it runs fairly fine.

Some Lemmings aren’t doing better tbh.

It’s not.

But it has potential to be, let’s remember it is in beta state, as many other apps.

It is almost unbeatable in smoothness and I think only Summit, Voyager and Connect for Lemmy are good alternatives to it, regarding features and smoothness.

And it has one big perk against all the others, you can multitask with it.

That’s fair, more avocados for me.

Ahh, the Steam Deck, the SBC handheld that I can’t afford yet.

Avocados are great!

Respawn sucks though.

I’d get the Switch, you have a huge backlog after all.

Really? How different?

What model?

I always find you with that iconic user name around the Fediverse!

It is too slow to me, I don’t think it is a hardware issue to be honest.

Is there any way to make the font a little bolder without changing to a bold font?

I feel it forces my eyes a lot to read them with that soft tone or whatever is called.
