> Anyone doing this should That's backwards. Rich megacorps are the ones that should be pressured to change their behavior, not individuals. Plus the full Apple experience is just about getting your money, it's not actually better than the full Linux experience or the full Windows experience.

> it's not actually better than the full Linux experience or the full Windows experience. But it is? - Can I view my iMessage texts / make and receive calls using FaceTime on Windows/Linux? No? There you go, a feature I'd miss on day 1. - Can I run the Affinity suite on either of those? Nope. For that matter, you still can't use Adobe products on Linux, can you? - Can I develop for iOS/macOS? Nope. - Is there a consistent UI for native applications on Linux yet? Nope. For that matter, is Gnome still the bare bones GUI of choice for the most widely used distros? - Do either of those two platforms integrate nicely with the rest of my Apple devices? Nope. - Is the X Window System still a thing? How about Wayland, is it ready yet for a retina grade multi monitor setup? Am I able to take screenshots now, for the love of all that's holy? Let me guess, probably not. - Is Windows still the insane mess that contains Win95/2000/XP UI elements? - Is Windows still the telemetry infested product it was a few years ago? I could go on, and on, and on, frankly, but what would the point be? I have slightly different preferences than you have, and that's totally fine. I'm sure you get by well with Linux/Windows, just as I get by well with using macOS. Of course Apple created macOS and Mac hardware to make money! I assume correctly that Microsoft didn't create Windows to lose money on it, did they?

  Full experience presumes you buy into the platform and get used to it, drop all the alien stuff and alien ideas from other platforms, especially all the exclusive lock-iny ones that you listed.

    Ok, that answers maybe half of the points listed. What do you have in defence of the other half other than empty platitudes about "buy in", which is of course somehow different from the "lock in" Apple sheep do?

  Affinity runs on Windows. I have Photo and Designer.
