I can and will terminal things, but the GUI is there so why not?
It dips when you’re sick, it will dip further when half of a department is sick. It’s better to protect everybody else and take a hit for a day or two than spend weeks with people passing around an illness back and forth with reduced productivity.
I have learned this about Maya after sitting near somebody who works in it daily.
Unfortunately they won’t see the consequences either because everyone will get sick and keep coming in, when the owner(s) can just dip out and take a personal day.
MacOS has a different methodology but the idea is most applications do things the exact same way every time, the menu at the top is standardized across software. Take some time to familiarize yourself with basic usage and then just fire up a new program and you’ll see what I mean. Keyboard shortcuts in apps are always the same for the same function. They’re easily accessible. Alt+f4 is fucking not, command+q is. Command+space to search for anything. That existed before MS implemented search in the taskbar. It’s got its ups and downs, but the OS is really tailored to make things accessible.
The reason it’s so wildly different from windows is partly due to a Microsoft going patent crazy on design and ui elements to try and monopolize home computing. Technically a “desktop” is their patent, which is why it’s called a workspace in every other OS. They also have been sued by Microsoft in the past over UX things.
I don’t understand the hate for MacOS or Ubuntu frankly. Windows was fine until they stopped making “features” opt in. Fedora has been toying with adding AI, and my experiences with Arch have been subpar for my needs. I’m kinda at the point in my life where I don’t care as long as the OS works. They’re all so similar at the end of the day, they help me do the websites, work tools and vidya gaems.
