Apart from written in the article, my 2 cents:

- cannot invert scrolling just for mouse (I use normal mouse with wheel, not apple mouse) -> I have an app for that

- cannot connect Mac to a low dpi screen (like 1080p) without macOS looking like crap

On the other hand, macOS can run MS Office, or professional video and photo editing apps, which Linux cannot do. Alternatives exist, but are IMO worse.

IIRC, there's a horrible work-around for the first item: hook up a magic mouse, invert the direction, and then plug in your mouse.
Since I don't have (nor plan to have) Magic mouse, that's kinda expensive solution :)

I use this instead: https://github.com/pilotmoon/Scroll-Reverser and it works well. Generally my preferred settings is like this: natural scrolling (ie. the mac default) for trackpad, but inversed (ie. linux/windows default) scrolling for mouse.

So if you connect a Magic Mouse and change the scrolling direction for the mouse it DOESN'T change the scrolling direction of the Trackpad?
