Under OpenBSD ifconfig manages even WPA2. You just need wpa-supplicant
for stuff like eduroam...
So you have your wireless handling split across two different tools.

I can't wait until we're all forced to decide between accepting
this and other permanent Wayland limitations, or switching to
MacOS.

MacOS doesn’t really count as “Unix” (the concept, not the trademark) any
more. It’s Linux compatibility that matters nowadays.
Even the BSDs are looking to adopt things like Wayland.

Not all linux distros use Wayland.

MacOS doesn?t really count as ?Unix? (the concept, not the trademark) any more. It?s Linux compatibility that matters nowadays.
Even the BSDs are looking to adopt things like Wayland.

That's why I don't see myself still using Linux or Unix as a GUI
operating system for much longer.

I cannot do with a Mac? The answer is fuck-all.

The great thing about linux is that you do not HAVE to use it. By all
means, buy a Mac if it suit your purposes better. Don't be surprised, however, when you have to pay for the privilege.

Of course not. You have to use Windows instead.
That's probably the biggest laugh Bill Gates will have all day.

Actually the fatal defect with the Mac is the complete lack of
support for 'focus-follows-mouse'. A secondary defect is the
stupid windows-style cut-n-paste where you must use use menus
or keyboard shortcuts.

I would invert that, myself:

You can set Windows to do that focus-follows thing, but it is really annoying.
On Linux, the Fluxbox window manager supports it in a more useful way.
Also, for cut-n-paste, don't you need at least a short-cut (mouse click
or keyboard) to paste?
The great thing about linux is that you do not HAVE to use it.
