Author here: yes, I know about this, but the reason I don't remember the exactly button to press and I always alternate between then until I get what I want is why I hate this approach from macOS.

It's always the option key that gives you more options.

As silly as it sounds, that's the logic behind it, and it's consistently implemented.

		Except that it isn't consistent, I was trying to use Option+Click for the battery and nothing happens.

> the network applet gives lots of information that in other operational systems are either not available or difficult to access.

This macOS functionality goes to the "difficult to access" part. The only reason I know that this feature exist (but again, I never remember which key to press) is because I actually had issues with my last MacBook and Wi-Fi and had to search how to get this information.

But if you feel better, sure, I was "lying" for internet cookie points ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

The main point of my comment goes to "proud of Linux" part.

		This is my personal blog and I can be as unbiased as I want, but saying that I am "proud of Linux" would be misguided at best. I could write one long blog post about all the issues I have using Linux desktop, but I can also write one for Windows and macOS, and from my personal perspective the issues I get in Windows and macOS are worse. Fun fact, the OS that I am mostly experiencing hard crashes right now (at the point that my only option is to force turn off the system) is macOS, by far. I even know of one particular bug that always freeze the macOS UI (it is not a hard crash since everything still seems to work fine, it is just that I can't do any kind of input), and this is persistent across multiple macOS revisions. I dread now about that notification popup that trigger this bug because it is infuriating.
