<div dir="ltr">As someone who has been hardcore Desktop Linux user and Advocate, I am kind of loving Apple. People say Apple is not for professionals and its toys. But today I had an amazing experience with Apple and it was NOT about their hardware (BTW, Google Pixel costs as much as MacBook and can't do half of the stuff). So I moved from Adobe Premiere to FCPX and I had some issues. I work on a video on my MacBook Pro and save it as a project so I can revisit or make changes in future if needed. I have a Linux server for over 50TB where I store all my such files. However, when I bring the files back to my Mack to edit, the external plugins will show error. I did find a workaround (macOS being UNIX, everything is a file)....but I wanted a solution so I left a message to Apple and they called me back at 9 am. He went through the whole issue, we spend almost 45 minutes on the phone where he tried to solve the issue and it seems that the ext4/BTRF file system might be messing up with the bundled files and may break the structure. He gave great tips about best practices and so one. As a multimedia <span style="background-color:rgb(246,213,217)">professional</span>, my problem was solved over the phone. And they CALLED. Last time I had a hardware related issue and they fixed it and this time I had a software related problem and they solved it. <br><br>Just wanted to share this story. I am NOT an Apple fan or Google fan or Microsoft fan. I am just a user, and I would LOVE the company who will help me and *not* charge for it. More than anything, it's nice to see there is someone to get help from.<br><br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">
