• Started to test MacOS on a MacBookPro M1 to see if I can adapt MacOS to my preference
• Corporate applications were easily found and installed
  • Logitech MX master mouse scroll didn’t work properly until I installed their software
  • Davinci Resolve is already on the app store
  • Remarkable2 application just works
• Opensource software suffered a bit
  • Emacs first installation with brew didn’t install the GUI version I had to add --cask flag
  • GPG integration with emacs was a nightmare. I had to install another software to show the password dialog
  • KeePassXC crashed twice when raising the window from hiding state
  • Syncthing worked perfectly
• Customizing the UI was horrible
  • Can’t remove window shadow
  • Can’t remove window decoration
  • Power software wasn’t in the appstore (Amthyst, TinkerTool)
  • Can’t remove the dock bar
  • Can’t remove the swipe animation
• Connecting my Lenovo USBC dock worked for the monitor and charging. Keyboard and mouse didn’t work until I restarted the laptop.
• Changing the external monitor to HDR made the monitor flicker and then turn off. it took a bit to turn off the flag as disconnecting and connecting again made the screen turn off after some flickering. so I had to race the flickering.
• The email application worked but notification didn’t appear if I quit the application. so it doesn’t have daemon in the background?
