Being a mac users and “supporter” for decades because of my wife I think it is so much better to have mac or even windows for general users. Or even for us IT guys. Just work and move on the problem you deal with. The problem is when the chip is down most of the case you are on your own. Not linux fault eg I have a small computer (touch based windows mini Pc) want to use it and from time to time the wireless adapter disappear ... I just go out to get a planet computer version 3 simply because their version 1 has linux support. I beg they have tested sort of their linux dual boot. Support. The hard part. And then the windows issue ... good luck to use linux not on VM, Docker ... and my lisp slimv work with some twist (macvim not vim-not).

While we are both technical, the reason we've stayed is because we don't have to usually worry about things. Hardware support is 100% the key for us. We have a UNIX environment can just install the GNU tools and it behaves, in the most important aspects for us, as Linux. This is the first time we've been bitten by something like this in 10 years (Mid '11 MBA was our first device after wifi stopped working on her linux laptop and I didn't have time to figure it out). It left a bad taste with me because they didn't communicate and support almost fucked it all up. A page with support would have been great and just, 'well, we don't support this or can't help you with this, but here's a support document you can read and try to understand the issue'. I also know they can definitely remove things from devices[0], so I don't know why this wasn't done for this installer.
