  • I gave my old WH1000XM2’s away to family because it was sitting in a drawer after I bought the xm4, both still work like a charm and the xm2 only has a slightly reduced battery even after being used for 6+ hours daily for years. I don’t know what the quality of the newer ones are, but the older ones are build to keep working. The noise-cancelling is the best one on the market for over ear headphones, the Bose ones put pressure on your ears which is really uncomfortable even after a few minutes (at least for me).









  • VM the program? I know that seting up a Apple VM is nothing easy but that will allow you to just use you preferred OS and run that program in the VM. I use winboat on my Pop_OS! laptop for some software that really needs Windows and does not work well (at all) in wine. I dislike the we know better that you mentality that comes with buying a Mac. Hell the amount of times the update fubar’ed my system because Apple decided to update software that has nothing to do with the OS is too damn high.



  • Fingerprint reader does not work as it does on other OS. You can log in, but the key ring stays locked causing programs in user space to break, so I always need to log in with my password before it works. The fingerprint prompt blocks input access so you can’t type in the password and you have to wait for it to time out, also the prompt does not always appear. And the developers actively refuse to fix the not unlocking the keyring because it’s “not secure”.

    Fingerprint scanners for both Windows and macOS, you can log in and it just works.

    Second thing is the still broken bluetooth drivers on Debian based distro’s where it randomly just fails. No such issues on Fedora (KDE) as of yet, but I use both.
