Re-learning OSX was not fun and after a lot of brewing and buying to mimic Unity as much as possible (I even got Ubuntu fonts and changed terminal colours to match Ubuntu’s), I got to a stage where I can use this machine with minimal obstruction. But, I digress.Ĭonsidering all this, I decided to give Mac another chance and I got myself a Macbook Pro 13″, the 2017. The breakup was so bad that the infamous G4 ended up running Debian. Mac and I have been seeing each other since System 6, but we broke up when Apple decided to go to mass market with Intel CPUs. This all led me to a decision to give a try with a system I haven’t touched since 2005. It requires too many mouse clicks and it’s too rigid. However, it seems that majority doesn’t share my view and Gnome 3 has become default desktop in 18.04. It’s flexible enough, keyboard orientated, doesn’t waste screen space. Today, I still think it’s the best desktop UI for me. NVMe for swap does help, but as always swapping on desktop is a road to frustration. It’s impossible to do real work with just 8GB of RAM. I was aware of this potentially being a problem, since I have to manage three different Google Chrome sessions at the same time, but I thought I will be able to manage it. However, when I got it, I didn’t opt for 16GB of RAM. It’s a beautiful system with a very nice operating system. I’m a proud owner of a ThinkPad X1 with Ubuntu 18.04.
