Linux

This was the major problem with the Mac version too. Esc is such a necessary button and they put it behind a bunch of ridiculous other stuff, like if you open the volume slider, now you have to press off of it and then hit esc, so esc is now two button presses.

it was really useful but in typical apple fashion the defaults were pretty simplistic… if you customised it by installing things like better touch bar and spent time integrating it with your workflow, it was great

but also, i don’t miss it much

Something that always bothered me about them was that I could no longer rely on feeling the keys to know which one I was about to press. Had to look at it to be sure, which slows down productivity

See the current dislike for fully digital display on cars. As they are now they just seem like a imprecise replacement for the function keys that either forces you to constantly look down at them (since the main selling point is that programs can change it at will) or force map them to F1-F12 (meaning you've spent extra on the touch-bar for no reason)

I had it. I hated it. I wanted real function keys back. I wanted a real escape key. Much happier now to have a laptop with real keys instead of that gimmick.

The biggest problem with it is that you have to look at it to use it. When I use my laptop I don’t look down at the keyboard, I look at the big screen in front of me. The Touch Bar is basically like a touch screen in a car: it takes away tactile controls and distracts you from driving, the thing you’re supposed to be doing.

Lmao nice

I don't think stretching it to the whole width did it any good
