Don’t take anything I’ve said as being anti-Mac. I am much happier to be on Mac than Windows. I would be happy on Linux as well, perhaps happier, but the corporate world being what it is, it turns out Linux doesn’t make it easy to load a computer up with a bunch of spyware.
Okay, I’ll be fair. Windows and MacOS are like… 3 things (If you still support Mac on Intel). Linux is like… 500 OSes. Even if you strip it down and support the most common, you’re looking at Arch (so customized that might as well be a separate OS for each user), Ubuntu, Fedora, and maybe Mint. So it’s way more work to support Linux even if Linux were as easy to support as Mac and Windows, and I believe it is not.
I’m very happy with my Mac. But my wife hates things that change. She’s one of those people who will hang onto a 15 year old laptop because “everything is the way I want it,” even if it’s all janky as hell.
