So sad that we need 3rd party apps for even the most basic functionality in mac os. It used to be that linux was a hassle to set up, and mac os worked out of the box. Now it's quite the opposite.

Similar thing with using an external 4k monitor. By default it's blurry (looks like 720p, awful), and one needs a 3rd party app (BetterDisplay) just to get a decent image. I had this issue with several macs and displays and cables. Terrible user experience. Obviously works out of the box with ubuntu, debian, and windows.

I wish it was easy & reliable to run ubuntu on an M2 macbook. That would be perfect - ubuntu is a much more capable & convenient OS at this point, but nothing comes close to the macbook in terms of hardware.
