Towards a more sane Mac OS user experience, and I am late to the party
Towards a more sane Mac OS user experience, and I am late to the party Despite making the transition to Mac OS from Windows as early as 2014, I don’t feel like I have made a particularly strong effort to become a ‘power user’ in the past eight years. By ‘power user’, I mean the kind of person that tweaks every little setting and configuration file and hotkey so that they have an optimised workflow…
