    Something horrible must have happened, if macOS users are curling shell scripts from the internet to make their desktops more like Linux.

      Nope. The only people who notice or care about any of this are those who can't accommodate the storage. Outside that, it all just works better now (especially Siri).

        Saying that Siri "works" is peak Apple fanboism.

          Also "those who can't accommodate the storage" is funny.

          What's that? You didn't pay Apple's 1200% markup on storage, just so you can have enough room for your actual work after the OS fills your disk with a bunch of bloat? What are you, poor?

          The new one just works. Do try it.

            It damn well better, for using 14gb+ of storage.

            Thank you, I might. I never have, the launch was such a mess, I've never looked back and fastidiously turn it all off.

            What's changed, for you to say it now works? And what do you successfully and regularly do with it?
