Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • AutoRaise

    AutoRaise (and focus) a window when hovering over it with the mouse

  • I'm not sure they appeal to the same group of users. macOS is IMNHO much worse than GNU/Linux with a proper window manager, much less comfortable to use with multiple desktops, and forces the use of a mouse/trackpad way too much.[1]

    The m2 can run Linux - but external display support is probably a long way off.

    So for the user wanting to run Linux - m2 isn't really viable - unless you actually work on it with just the built-in screen - for me that doesn't work ergonomically.

    I have the m2 - it's not terrible - I suspect I'd prefer one of these.

    [1] Rectangle and AutoRaise helps a lot, making the UX livable:
