now having run macos sequoia on my 2017 macbook pro instead of ubuntu, I have thoughts. First and foremost, I have noticed a clear performance reduction as compared to ubuntu. This isn't based on any benchmarking software, as I didn't think to test it before I switched OSs, but it definitely feels slower as compared to gnome. The temps are SIGNIFICANTLY better, and the palm rejection is, of course, much better.

Previously, even with mbpfan installed (which is a bit of software that tells the fans to ramp up more often in linux), I still saw temps that are two or three times higher than what I see on macos, making it a much more usable system in that regard. However, the reduction in performance is noticeable (although performance was betterr when actually running supported software, lmao). I still hate macos tho

If you don't understand trans people, just ask. A lack of understanding should not be justification for hate. Literally just ask.

At some point I wanna write a dedication to the conventionally unattractive. Some of the hottest guys I have ever seen have been "ugly" on a conventional level, and I really wanna talk about how beautiful those guys are.

thx for following me back! Actually you can find any of my projects by clicking images (also buttons and blinkies) on any pages, so the entire web is displaying my portfolio. Just realized that the developing apps by using Android Studio subject drains me out harder than IOT programming subject does

After struggling with the absolutely awful driver support for the 2017 13 inch macbook pro on linux (thanks, apple), I just decided to give opencore a try, and patched it to run Sequoia, just so it at least has functioning audio. Frustrating that it was necessary, since I still don't care for MacOS, but at least the laptop isn't incomplete in its functionality.

Interestingly, temps have just not been an issue anymore once switching to MacOS. On Ubuntu, streaming 4K video would result in the temps spiking to 100 C on the CPU (which goes without saying is not a good temp for a CPU to be running at), but on MacOS sequoia, the laptop chase does not heat up pretty much at all, and the fans don't even kick on unless I'm steaming 4K video, rendering stuff in the background, while-

-browsing the web. Sure, the laptop is much slower than the M1 lappies that I have, and it does run MacOS sequoia worse than it ran Ubuntu, it still is totally usable, just takes a little longer for things to open before they've been cached on boot.

The keyboard is still awful. I hate the butterfly keyboards so much.
