Context: this is a legit screenshot I took on my workplace around 1.5 years ago. Hopefully it’s been patched by now? Completely ridiculous behavior

    I believe many of the display issues were fixed with the M2. And you don’t need brew to install a window manager, although the fact that brew lets you treat it like a linux box is great.

    The system configuration is more about what you’re used to than anything else. I haven’t used Windows in a couple of decades, and I absolutely hate it. Can’t even think of going back. The modern version looks like a tablet OS trying to pass as a desktop OS. Give me a Windows machine and the first thing I’ll do is wipe it clean and install Ubuntu. But I’m also sure Windows is great for you. So it’s what we’re used to. Nothing wrong with it.

      I have an M2 and it has literally every display issue I’ve talked about here.

      I hate Windows. I have a single Windows machine that I use for a few specific things and then like…5 linux machines. And then the M2.

        Ok, you know better. I had heard that the M2 was able to handle more external displays than the M1, but haven’t tried it myself as in my current setup I can’t even use one external display. Last time I was able to use external displays I had two, but I was using an Intel version.
