Brew is the only thing that saves it somehow however that's only package manager with formulas.

MacOS is perfect for people that just want to install the software and use it (still out of the box).

But for even system configuration MacOS falls behind in many ways - I mean even in the settings. I use Ubuntu at my work and more people with Mac have DNS / Wireguard (VPN) problems than me.

    My friend recently sold his Mac as he's very accustomed to tinkering and MacOS either didn't listen or broke. The ouf of the box experience is real but once you are ouf of this box (aka you need more customisation and configuration) it's not enough. But of course very Linux approach to MacOS.

    I understand.

    Regrading warranty I meant lifetime support for problems related to your System76 laptop. The warranty for a hardware is gone I think but I guess when you describe your issues correctly and they won't resolve it maybe they will suggest you something friendly.

    And I get your point with the case. Tbh looked like it.

    Hmm do you have up-to-date firmware? I had similar issue resolved by it.

    Also faulty motherboard sounds like manufacturer issue not yours.
