  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

    MacOS is a great os, and it comes with solid hardware. If you use your laptop for anything except gaming, and you can pay premium, a mac is a really good choise. Also, it's a lot easier to develop apps for iphones from macs, and that's a thing that a lot of people do.

    Given that's actually the only way to do it... (Without resorting to jumping through hoops via emulation)

    And that is why my code will never be multiplatform. No way I'm going to sink several thousand dollars for a machine I will never use except as part of my build pipeline.

    Mac mini $500 and refurbs are cheaper.

    There is always a third really obscure way to do things

    I've switched my laptop from an XPS machine to an M1 Pro MBP, and it's genuinely been one of my best purchases. I can easily do my work for an entire day, and more often than not, I can spend like 3 nights in a row watching something in bed too. Not to mention that it doesn't run like a furnace, even under load

    I used my 2010 MacBook Pro for about 10 years before I decided to buy a new one (no longer supported by Apple). It ran great too, for being 10 years old.

    MacBooks are great. You can still run Linux on it if you still want to use the hardware.

    Or you can try OpenCore Legacy Patcher.

    What is OpenCore?

    I’m waiting for Linux support to come to iPads. I have an older iPad I would love to see Linux on.

    Idk why people say “pay a premium”. MacBook Air is like $1000 bucks. Other laptops are also in this range.

    Also, you’re never going to spend a second worrying about making the thing work or fixing an error. Even Windows requires fixing problems and installing drivers sometimes. I guess it depends on how you value your time. I’ve spent hours on linux and windows troubleshooting. I’ve never spent a second on macOS.

    Not all people can afford a $1000 laptop, and in most countries, it's considered as a really big price
