"helloSystem is a desktop system for creators with a focus on simplicity, elegance, and usability. Its design follows the “Less, but better” philosophy. It is intended as a system for “mere mortals”, welcoming to switchers from the Mac."
Sounds like I'm somewhere near the target audience if you ask me.
I don't know what you want us to say here. If you don't like it then you don't like it. No skin off of anybody's teeth if egypturnash isn't convinced.
I think I am kind of exactly the target group.
Why is "why is half of the screenshot used as my first encounter with this system in a different language from the rest" a disrespectful question?
Because you value free software. That's the only reason.
It's a very compelling reason for many people. If it's not compelling for you, that's ok.
Now Windows reputation has suffered mightily with bundled ads, version churn (also impacts Mac yet with limited hardware the impact is lessened), and major swings in UI changes (often regressing).
It almost feels like Apple and Microsoft are slowly trading positions, whilst Mac retains a limited hardware set; making things easier for them. Interesting to see how Apple's shift to services ends up, will they become as obnoxious as Microsoft?
We write software in C#, most employees still use VisualStudio, we still have some legacy code in .NET Framework (everything else is netcore). It’s a 20 years old company.
So that’s the typical windows shop but still we are migrating to macOS. That’s how much Windows have become a shit show.
I would think the bigger concern is all the telemetry.
Seems to me you're an Adobe user more than a Mac user, and there's nothing wrong with that. Not every project needs to target you.
