Hmm, your post struck a chord with me. I am only visual and my sum total of using a computer with my setup has been using a Linux laptop with my Polemaster (though I do have a planetary camera that I am working up to longer term).

Picked up my daughters dated but good MBP for a token payment on the weekend. It is smaller, nicer looking and has good battery life and I thought it would have to be easier to use than my current Linux on a very old Acer laptop.

Likewise. The Polemaster app installed and works a treat but then thought I might as well install Kstars for the heck of it but its not having a bar of it. It did run once but not anymore. Haven't given up but the MBP and I are having "a rest for a while".

Well I am the other side of 50 but that's not old, really (so I am told).

PS. Maybe the problems are related to the users first name ?
