“Problems that are a breeze to solve in Linux are a nightmare in OSX because all you have to go by are big shiny icons.

“Problems that are a breeze to solve in Linux are a nightmare in OSX because all you have to go by are big shiny icons. With Linux you can look at log files, enable verbose output, or often even get help from the engineers who designed the software.” Contrary to what you said, in my experience, problems in OS X are not a nightmare to solve compared to Linux. While you can’t exactly get help from the engineers who actually wrote OS X’s first-party software, I’ve solved quite a few issues in the past by going through logs in Console.app¹. Frankly, OS X gives you a lot more tools to solve issues than just “big shiny icons”. ―――――― ¹ — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Console_(Mac_OS_X)
