As a long-time Apple user, I agree with developers on this.
Give it time and they will abandon the platform, which is not geared to be anything more than a vertically integrated channel for money.
"but if you’re not interested in spending it actually supporting macOS, don't market your project as a cross platform"
This is again Apple driven effect. Most of the Open Source projects are cross-platform because of Mac Os X, not what Mac Os is now.
I advocate for Linux as a platform with real control over computing and hope developers realizing that this is a chance for Linux to become desktop heaven. My main workflow is design-focused and if software like Affinity Design or Sketch was available today I will remove anything Apple-related from my job.
There is a lot of graphic design and video professionals that will jump the ship. We have Blender, and Resolve is working under Linux, but Inkscape and Gimp are not capable enough to replace Sketch/Affinity/Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop.
- dcow 6y agoI agree and I try to use Linux as much as possible, just to be clear. I want Apple to feel the effects of their lockdown on their platform. Right now just directing grief at macOS users who are trying to contribute to a project that claims support for macOS in their readme is not really fair. Give Apple the middle finger and drop support for their platform officially!
- nbzso 6y agoWhat average or semi pro user (the core New Apple User) have not contemplated is that technologies on a macro scale at the current moment are a step towards the political agenda of control of governments and corporations over people. This is not a conspiracy. This is the official plan for the 4th industrial revolution by WEF. (https://tinyurl.com/yyfmj7gk https://tinyurl.com/yyfmj7gk). The goal is to abolish private property and live in a real time data driven world which is clearly a Communistic Agenda "The theory of the communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property." - Karl Marx. In this context big corporations are cooperating with governments under supervision of WEF to implement general control with global AI infrastructure (actually there is EU program for supercomputers network already in place). Apple, Google, Microsoft and Amazon are part of this network of influence and they will sell user data to governments on demand. The idea of personal computing without authorisation(Digital ID https://tinyurl.com/y5he2qr9 https://tinyurl.com/y5he2qr9) and oversight (telemetry) will be contrary to the values of the new Digital Utopia. Obviously big tech is politically driven and will be protected from scrutiny in the future in this context.
