Fixing Lion

January 25, 2012

luckyshirt mentioned some issues he was having with Lion (Mac OS X 10.7… not actual an actual Lion)

I’ve had Lion installed since it came out. I gave it time. I eventually got used to the scrolling thing. I liked it. I agreed with it. It’s fine.

It’s fine.

I actually prefer it now, but it took time… and I don’t use any other computers

I missed Spaces. I live in Spaces. Everything makes sense in Spaces. That nonsense along the top with no structure is just useless to me.

I never used Spaces, and still don’t use Mission Control or whatever it is, so I can’t talk to that.

Lion’s little trick where after launching an app it reopens the windows and files you had open last time? Over it. Command-Q is how I break up with work sessions. I don’t need that shit coming back and being all like “I left my jeans in your kitchen.”

The death of Rosetta support killed me, too. I have a couple old programs I rely on because the new stuff sucks or is too expensive.

But worst of all, it broke the Canon EOS Utility for my DSLR.

Virtualizing Snow Leopard using VMWare is a terrible solution. Not that you could still find a version of VMWare 4.10 and use it to virtualize Snow Leopard. After all, 4.11 has come out and certainly no one kept a version of 4.10 around just to keep the “accidental” ability to virtualize Snow Leopard.

Anyway, there are some How to make Lion more like Snow Leopard tips at Macworld.

Personally I liked Snow Leopard better too, and would switch back if I wasn’t using a bunch of 10.7 utilities.
