the reason why we’re running mac’s is the software not the hardware though, and microsoft’s software is going downhill while macOS is on the up and up.


If I had to run Linux as my main desktop again, for some reason, and it were an option, I would legit pay real money to have access to Apple’s various 1st party programs and tools on it. They’re so, so good.


The reason I am not using a mac is the OS. If there was a fully working Linux for it the hardware is fantastic. I can only hope snapdragon x will get proper and official support cause many of the laptops with it I've seen tick most of the boxes in my wishlist.

Ehh I wouldn't go that far. I still vastly prefer it to Windows or desktop Linux, but I am growing very tired of the change-for-the-sake-of-change redesigns that are typically worse than what came before it. Half-baked changes that take years to be cleaned up, if they ever do. Though, that seems to be common across all software these days.

It also requires a lot of little utilities for stuff that should really be built into the system (window management until Sequoia arrives, making third-party mice usable).

The hardware is better than it's ever been though.
