You may hate Apple if you want. But from time to time they really do some amazing stuff. Today I found out about universal control, which means, I can put my notebook next to my working station and instantly work on both computers with one keyboard and one mouse (and even have drag & drop from one computer to another). I don't need anything to configure - it just works instantly.

The two computers are both connected with the same apple-account. Then they also know the devices around them by bluetooth. And with bluetooth Angle-of-Arrival (AOA) they know where the other computer is located. So when I lead my cursor from my workstation to my notebook, it automatically switches to the screen of the notebook. No, I can not drag a window from one computer to another. But I can drag a file and use it on the other device. The result looks like magic.

So come on, Linux! Copy that feature!
