I question the number of people who own macs that don't want to run OS X. As someone who owns a lot of macs, and even does kernel hacking on them on a regular basis, I'm infinitely more likely to (and, in fact, have) bought dedicated boxes to run Linux rather than wiping out a mac.
There's an argument, certainly, for supporting a small number of SKUs really well. But I don't think that the Apple machines are the right set of SKUs for the project.
- samstokes 15y agoI was shopping for a new laptop twice in the last three years. Both times, I would have bought a current-generation MacBook if it had run Linux reliably, based on the merits of the hardware. This is less about existing Mac users switching to / dual booting Linux, and more about people who already know they want to run Linux choosing what hardware to run it on.
