Okay am I just going crazy, or has MacOS gotten a little better over the past like 3 months? Like I’ve been using it for just about everything besides heavy web browsing, and it's been pretty good. Makes me almost want to get back into the Apple ecosystem, whenever iOS’ bugs upon bugs are a bit more exterminated. Shoot maybe I’m just crazy. But Windows just, ugh the way when a lot of notifications come in, focus is just stolen out from wherever you were and put into a blank space, like that infuriates me. Oh and the Mac Mail app being a lot nicer than Gmail’s web app. Like it's totally first-world problems, and I could live on Windows, but my goodness it gets on my nerves a lot. Lol meanwhile Android gets even more smooth with every TalkBack update. Tech companies’ attention to accessibility waxes and wanes, I guess. All this was typed on the new, more quick, TalkBack Braille Keyboard. Although I still can't type smiley faces though.

•Can't imagine gong back to broken Windows. Never could keep a windows computer functioning for more than a few months.
As a writer, I need the ability to have more than one program open at a time, and to be able to work on complicated projects. Mac allows that.

•I have been known to edit in Pages. It is much better than it was a decade ago. Pages can export to ebook, pdf, Word, and rtf.
I even use Word for Mac for the few people who still use Word.
Jokingly, I call it Dirty Word. I have lost so many days trying to get page numbers correct, because they refuse to format correctly.
In Pages, it just works.
Scrivener has export functions too, called Compile. That is a more complicated process.
I still use Libre Office, for book covers and art work.
Devin Prater reshared this.

•I remember that problem on Windows with Libre Office. And often when I would click save, it would lose the document. On Mac, that rarely happens.
That is why I only use it for the art feature.
You have a lot more tech knowledge than I do. I would say, 90% of the terms you toss around, I have no clue what they mean. Jarte, MarkDown, Pandoc?
I have at least heard of markdown as term, though I never could figure out what it meant.
With the last brain shutdown, about a decade ago, I lost how to do CSS and HTML. I cannot seem to learn, or retain, anything new since then. Which means Braille and my Braille display are not something I can retain either. Too many techy terms that aren't connected to anything in my brain. they just float in space and refuse to stay connected. I wish they could build connections!
