  • 🤔 Apple has shared why the power button on the Mac Mini M4 is hidden
  • 🤏 It’s mainly because of the Mac Mini’s compact size
  • 🤷‍♂️ But also because users apparently never use the power button on a Mac
  • 👉 Apple also says the button can be accessed easily, even though it’s underneath

I’m trying to be a Linux nerd, but my god is there so much research to do to figure out how to get it to work the same way my Mac does.

100%. I'm typing this comment on a M4 Mini that the original post is about, and it's just so nice. And things work. And I don't have to worry about it. I can move my mouse to the edge of the screen and connects to my iPad and I can control my iPad that way. It's cool! And I didn't have to read some ancient texts to figure it out.

Linux is not bad, and people who use it aren't bad.

But that doesn't mean they aren't kinda annoying to hear all the time, saying "it's so easy" when you have spent hours trying to figure out why something that feels like it should be simple doesn't work. Or they say, "Oh, yeah you just have to run [some command in the terminal no one would ever guess] to make [your issue] work."
