Barely on-topic, but this is sort of the plot of Reboot, and I remember watching this show seeing the dynamic between the elder writer played by Paul Reiser) and the much younger writer played by Rachel Bloom.
The gist of the (relevant) bit of plot is that the younger writer wants to take an old classic series (ala Full House) but do a gritty reboot of it, but the studio brings in the original writers on to help, and there is unsurprisingly a culture clash.
I remember thinking (of the younger generation) how sad it was that they were so eager to dismiss all the experience of the elders, and how glad I was that this was just a TV show and probably not at all what was happening in the real world. I was safe in that ignorance right up until I read your comment.
> Most users want to boot up their machine and get to work. Linux can absolutely do this, but if a user hits a minor snag, then I guarantee they will have more difficulty fixing it compared to an issue found in macOS.
You use mac so you find it easier to fix macproblems. I use Linux and find it easier to fix Linux problems.
> Design is important. The user experience will make or break an operating system.
Not really. Just look at windows. I press the windows key, type reboot and it gives me a link for the movie ReBoot. The Windows design is a joke. There must be something else going on, OP.
> Another advantage macOS has over most other Linux desktops is tailored hardware.
Tailored to be bad I guess. My coworker with a mac can't run more than 1 external screen or 8k graphics. Couldn't pair to her sony headphones either. No such problems on Linux.
Yep, I see so many pages get deleted due to "non-notability". Meanwhile you see exhaustive content about temporarily-popular subjects like a complete plot synopsis for an entire TV series, plus detailed information about every location ever described in that series. Like this comprehensive list of all the characters in the ReBoot series[0]. Hey, I liked the series at the time, but come on. I can't help but feel a bit frustrated when valuable information is deleted permanently, but content hundreds of times the size persists for super-obscure topics that a couple people feel passionate about enough to fight for and rally their fellow account-holders to vote for.
