I am very much invested in my personal computer.
It's still a laptop, but all the software there is chosen to give me as much control as I can.
My OS is FreeBSD, my browser is (still) Firefox, my editor (and the way of life is) Emacs, and now my windows manager is Fvwm.
All of those allow me to adjust them to my liking.
But this is not the computer I use the most.
For 8 hours a day, I am forced to macOS.
It's a system that used to be good, but each version is getting progressively worse.
But it also removes all power from now.
It should be the IT department I am fighting with, not Tim Cook!
I am able to reproduce **some** life necessities on Mac via external programs, like Yabai or skhd.
Unfortunately, that takes me only a few steps, and still I am forced to look at the blandest interface ever conceived.
But at the same time, this makes me appreciate non-corporate ridden software even more.
It can't get much worse than macOS, right?[^fn:1]
[^fn:1]: The last Windows I've used extensively was XP.
My computers were always to slow for anything newer.
