Am I missing something? Can't you just boot Ubuntu on a Macbook if that's what you want to do?
(This is a genuine question - I've always found OSX sufferable enough to not need to, and I have a fanless Acer for Ubuntu that travels with me).
- suprfnk 11y agoYes you can. But from the article: "However, I don't want a Mac. Apple has great design, but they sell things that are locked down, both physically and in software. You're not supposed to open them, you're not supposed to replace parts, and if they break you're supposed to take them to your nearest "Genius Bar". Not my style."
- headmelted 11y agoI saw that, and it's fair I guess, but isn't that increasingly the direction hardware is moving industry-wide? (thinner, lighter, sleeker). I was strongly under the impression that other manufacturers' products were becoming less-and-less hackable by design. Am I wrong?
