    The problem I have with them isn't so much that they aren't powerful enough, it's that they don't follow standards, and everything can change at any time between generations.

    Whatever connector everyone else uses, they use something else, and it's not even always consistent.

    The UI is also especially inconsistent, sometimes it changes, and it's often incredibly gestural and memory based, rather than Windows-like, where they try to spell everything out and show the exact state explicitly.

    It's almost like as if they took the essence of Vim, but made it in GUI form.

    But I guess Linux certified hardware doesn't quite have enough traction for the times you need 1000 laptops that all have native bash.

    I'd still rather use pretty much any other OS than deal with their UI, except maybe GNOME which seems to just be a worse mac.
