    Apple hardware is pretty good.

    I fought the good fight for years, but modern windows and android hardware is shit in comparison.

    Queue the Linux crowd. Listen I like Linux, but every day usability with minimal tinkering isn’t there. Apple stuff just works, and there’s merit to that now.

      Apple hardware had always been decent, but I don’t understand the point of macos. If you can work entirely in the browser, than why waste the money on apple? Just grab a chrome book.

      If your job requires software, macos is trash. Basic functions like window snapping are still missing. Gaming is non existent. Obscene memory requirements with nothing under 32gb usable for any real work.

      I’ve been daily driving Linux for decades and occasionally use Windows, but any time I’m forced to use macos I’m just really confused why people would do that to themselves and then pay 3x the price for decent hardware.

      People say this and then pretend to enjoy their lives without window snapping or having a UI worse than GNOME, which I cannot understand lol.

        Not wanting to be “that guy” but……

        Ack-sh-wa-ly…. Apple added window snapping in the latest release of MacOS.

      Thank you. I’ve been saying this for so long. People like to act like Linux distros in 2024 are now plug and play without any tinkering. No, they still are absolutely not. Yes, they’ve gotten significantly better over the years…by many leaps and bounds honestly. But that are still absolutely nowhere near the level of making sense for a non-tech person unless you set it up and do the tinkering for them. And no, it still isn’t good for games unless your library is all in Steam. Many of us don’t use Steam for most of our games.
