    Imagine being proud of using Microsoft!

    At least Apple makes decent hardware (and questionable software practices). But at least macOS is true Unix. With WSL now I’m not really sure which experience is better.

    I’d still take Linux any time.

        They have the best ARM CPUs in any consumer product and very good software/hardware security. I hate Apple because their shit is overpriced and locked-down but that doesnt mean its garbage.

          Agreed. ipads and iphones being locked as a platform, i would never buy them. The PCs? You can install Linux and be happy with it (if you’re lucky enough).

              I don’t understand why you are being so impolite.

              I understand making fun of apple shills, it’s not a mature thing to do, but I get it. I just want to point out that being so “anti shill” is just as cringe.

              Why do you care about what other people buy? We are having a technical discussion about different platforms, and your whole argument is “lmao buying apple”.

                  I’ve blocked them, I have other things to care about today, than arguing with a stranger about bullshit.

                  It’s sad, because other than that we were having a pretty nice conversation. Such is life…

          • It’s corporate trash. Fuck Apple and their fanboys.

          • It’s poor people’s idea of pricey hardware.

          • It’s unusable crap with horrendous design.

          • My CPU positively destroys anything made by those idiots.

            • It’s corporate trash but still does a couple things right
            • Your CPU uses 5 times the energy and gets way hotter
            • You can hate apple but also see the couple of things they do correctly.
            • Yes Linux is better in every way except it’s a bit more to maintain, but I personally find it worth the effort.

              I ran some benchmarks the other day and I was amazed by just how powerful and efficient the M4 Max in my Mac Studio is vs the 9800x3d in my desktop. Not only did the entire system use 2/3 the power of the 9800, while scoring well over 1.5x more. And then the system goes to idle and uses less than 10 watts. Less than just the 9800 at idle.

              They’re incredible feats of engineering, only hampered by apples fuck ass software.

                Exactly. I would also add it’s because of their business practices which fucks the software side

              • That goes for qny company. Zero points.

              -Yes, it’s better.

              • The only thing they’re good at is marketing and you’re falling for it. It’s technology for tech illiterate idiots.

              • Linux fucks every other OS.

                Yes I’m falling for their marketing by specifically hating macs for 20 years, realizing they’re better than windows, using them for work daily and hating every annoyance of a mac, and finally shunning everything else in favor of Linux on every device possible. Yeah man I’m a mark!

                Binary thinking makes fools of people. Do better.
