This describes me - I definitely prefer things that just work over things that do not:-P.

But we all know that the real division is ~~Trump~~ Windows vs. not-Windows, so Linux users looking pretty smug today as well, with the machines that actually function rather than those that do not:-P.

My MacBook is really good for web browsing and SSHing into my Linux boxes.

That is precisely what they are for.:-) That and they natively handle Office apps without needing Wine - bc when boss sends you tracked changes, you don't ask them to switch apps, you do instead.

I do like the anti aliasing too, and the Preview program is legit one of the better ones of all time. I doubt it can take the place of ImageMagick entirely, but it does work so very often:-).

Preview and ImageMagick serve entirely different purposes.

Notably, as a PDF viewer, Preview is vastly superior to all Adobe products.

^anything^ ^is^ ^better^ ^than^ ^Adobe...^

Preview and ImageMagick can both be used to view, modify, and convert a range of image formats, among ofc so very many other things.:-)

Don't worry, CrowdStrike fucked up their Linux customers a bit ago in a separate bad update. It just wasn't as large of an install base. This is why everyone migrating to one cloud solution or one security solution has always left a bad taste in my mouth. Don't put all your eggs in one basket, corps.

If it's not too annoying, I feel like this might be the proper time for one of these...

Crowdstrike Falcon is the real issue.
