I have now completed two full working weeks with an M4-processor Apple laptop running MacOS. I had heard a lot about how amazing and fast these things are, and let me tell you: no

utter horseshit, the speed is pretty unremarkable (it's fine) but the OS itself reminds me of 2007-era linux (nothing works quite right, random UI elements lag, text scaling doesn't meaningfully work, every program comes with a quirks list because each model is apparently differently broken)
