Switching from winslop to linux last year (thanks Satya) I did expect some teething issues. The reality was a bit different than what I imagined: fedora kde the OS is rock solid, but the software choices are a bit lacking. Just finding a good audio player can be a pain, and eventually I settled on some foobar clone fooyin, which while lacking built-in audio conversion mostly does what I want it to.
MacOS however truly takes the cake. An OS that’s great for creative softwate, working with images, video, audio and so on, and every single music player is something designed by aliens and/or buggy and/or missing some basic features. I went through ~five different players just to find one that has a waveform seekbar, eventually finding it in quodlibet, which while somewhat functional fits in the designed by aliens part. Baffling.
