@ama @davidrevoy Mostly same, but I was forced to use a co-worker's desktop Mac rig once for reasons beyond my control. Took me for frickin' ever to find the frickin' POWER BUTTON. Turned out to be in a ridiculously unintuitive spot on the back of the machine.

Told an Apple fanboy about it, and he was like "Well, yeah, because it looks better if the power button is hidden."

And I'm like, "Well, then that's not user friendly. You just said the quiet part out loud, and I win this argument."

That makes a lot of sense, actually, since their devices look much better when they're turned off.

@ama @probablyjohnfunk Three years ago, I had to teach on a classroom full of Mac, and use one because my laptop had issues connecting to the projector (TL:Dr; HMDI to VGA converter required, not Linux's fault on my Laptop).
Yes, it is not user-friendly for someone like me who never used a Mac or Apple product in my life. I was lost many times by some logic. Those who said distro like "ElementaryOS" are clones, are wrong. Those distro makes more sens to me.
