I don't understand how these are meaningfully different. Is your objection that you expected the user to have previously been well-versed with macOS via a Hackintosh?

You have, in fact, iterated the opposite cases from being a first-time Mac user: either they are a first time computer user, or they are a long-time computer user, just with a different OS (likely Windows).

Because every one of their complaints is about the GUI and has nothing to do with the Mac Operating System itself. Obviously they haven’t gotten far enough to have any complaints they can actually expound upon other than “I’m not able to arrange windows myself” and “also, I could use an app to do that but won’t!” Most windows users install 7zip or Winrar.

Each point is carefully crafted whiny nonsense. It’s not unclear.

Also, you can use a computer every day, most high school students do, and learn 2 apps: Word processor app Web browser app

And that is the full and total extent of their capabilities. It’s VERY easy to fall into the trap of “wow this OS is bad, because it doesn’t work like the other one!” When that is again, total fucking bullshit. If you skin MacOS to look like windows or vice versa 99% or users will think the GUI is the OS, and so all their complaints are about the current GUI setup.

It is the Automobile equivalent of “I don’t like that I had to adjust my mirrors”.

Who gives a shit?

> everything is unified around that in MacOS by making the apps images and then leaving non-window apps to either daemons or console scripts

I have been using Macs since the late '80s and have no idea what you mean by "making the apps images".

Also, to me, "non-window app" sounds like "menu bar app".

> This person is new to computers in general and maybe is a longtime windows-user

Kinda feel like you have to pick one stereotype there or the other, pardner, but not both.

Not really chief. You can use internet explorer, Word, and browse websites for 10+ years and that makes you a longtime windows user.

Now, tell me, does someone who browses Facebook in IE and learns a lot of windows commands going to understand why another operating system does things differently?

They won’t, because they’re new to computers, and are still, shocker, logically a longtime windows user.

You can be pedantic about my terminology but the logic is sound.
