I helped my mother set up a MacBook Air yesterday. We set the UI size to the maximum so she could see it easily. Around half of the setup boxes then had buttons that were either off the bottom of the screen or obscured by the dock (and therefore not clickable).

                                                                          Almost all of them had huge amounts of empty space in the middle and so could easily have fitted if some idiots private aesthetic had been considered less important than accessibility at Apple.

                                                                          All of them were either modal or app-modal (hey, Apple folks: you might like to read your own Human Interface Guidelines, they explain in detail why this is stupid). You couldn’t progress or go back until you’d hit the button that was off the screen and, because some were system-wide global, you couldn’t go to settings and change UI size without killing the thing that produced the box.

                                                                          All completely preventable if anyone in QA had bothered to try the first-time setup flow on an Apple device using each of the five UI-size options.

                                                                          Oh, honourable mention for if you install Word or Excel, the first launch window is a massive thing (which, at least, can be scrolled, unlike the Apple ones) giving you a bunch of options to buy an M356 subscription. There is no option anywhere in that window for logging in with your existing subscription. There is an option in the app menu, but it’s greyed out. If you close this window, the app exits. In your next release testing, try asking someone on your team to figure out how to log in from a fresh install. I eventually figured out the flow, but I was very close to the point of saying ‘let’s just put LibreOffice, Pages, and Numbers on this and not bother with the M365 stuff’. And I have a PhD in computer science and worked at Microsoft for five years: how do you think a vaguely normal human will do?

Take choosing an operating system, for example. Unfortunately, it’s not very productive to insist on open-source systems if they don’t work flawlessly on your own hardware.

                                                                              Take, for example, my new Asus NUC 16 Pro with an Intel Ultra X7 processor and its built-in (soldered) components. The only Linux distribution that runs smoothly on it is Fedora. However, for political reasons (the U.S.), I no longer want to use it (although, from a user’s perspective, I do miss it—it’s simply the best Linux, period). But I haven’t been able to get U.S.-independent distributions like Debian to run properly on it; in some cases, the system wasn’t even recognized when I tried installing them from a USB drive. Another new experience… but then again, I’ve never had such relatively brand-new hardware that also requires a cutting-edge kernel. Maybe Ubuntu would work, but I don’t like Ubuntu or Canonical. That’s why I’m running Windows 11 Pro on it. Reluctantly, but everything works.

                                                                              The same goes for my old ThinkPad T490s. Everything works wonderfully with any Linux distribution—except for the 5G modem. And I need that when I’m on the go. There’s no workaround for it either; I’ve probably scoured the entire web for one, but not a single tip helped. So here, too: Windows...

                                                                              Now I actually have two Windows computers running again, for the sake of my sanity and to save time. At least I’m using only local accounts and the strictest possible privacy settings and tweaks you can apply to Windows. And I only use those two computers when necessary.

                                                                              Most of my work continues to run on my two Debian systems, the FreeBSD computer, and, when necessary, on the Mac as well.

                                                                              Still, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth, but I don’t want to let the devices sit around unused.

                                                                              Is it just me, or are there others who feel torn like this???
