The creator of Vim doesn't know why Ubuntu fails to restart sometimes. That tells you a lot of why people prefer MBP for work and/or Windows.
It is a shame because I think a solid third work OS is very much needed.
- lllr_finger 7y agoMy Fedora and FreeBSD laptops have been solid workhorses for years - I'm on my third MBP at work and I loathe the thing. It's hard to say how much of that is the new keyboard and all the corporate spyware it's saddled with, but it has been decidedly less stable for me.

It's not my favorite, the keyboard doesn't type well, it only has USB-C ports which are so close together you can only use one out of two. I would go back to the MacBook Air if I could."
- ncmncm 7y agoI have never in 25 years had a Linux system that "fails to restart sometimes". His Ubuntu machine probably has hardware problems. So, no, it is not enough to explain why so many people endure the frequent degradation Apple and MS impose. Habituation is the better explanation.
