    It’s not like all the alternatives to Linux aren’t that good. Mac is a walled garden and Windows keeps introducing AI slop feature after AI slop feature that actually publishes your personal information

      I mean, Macs are certainly a viable alternative for many people…

      But if you wanna use your PC to play games?

      About 25% of Steam’s library runs on Mac.

      Whereas if you look at ProtonDB, 81% of games are either gold or platinum on Linux in general, 86% if you throw silver in.

      That’s gonna be a major hangup for a lot of people who want a PC that isn’t Windows.

      Oh right, that and Macs are all overpriced as fuck for the average consumer, when we are about to enter into the Second Great Depression.

        Every time I look at Macs I just can’t get over how ridiculous they are in terms of pricing. Combined with the inability to upgrade after the fact. Buying one would just doom me to buying another a few years down the line, much better to just never get stuck in the ecosystem in the first place.
