- viraptor 4y agoWhat would be the gain for Apple? Currently a lot of Linux devs are already using macs and some are motivated enough to do the porting without any cost to Apple.
- intrasight 4y agoThe gain would be selling A LOT more products. There are lots of folks like me that love the hardware but hate the crappy OS. Most Mac users I know are either a) iOS app developers, b) remoting in to some other system, c) running a Windows VM. Give me a solid Linux machine and I'd buy a Mac in a heartbeat.
- viraptor 4y agoI'd say the idea that there are enough devs who haven't got a mac and would want to buy it with Linux to offset the development cost and actually get profit... needs some data. I'm one of them, but it feels like "there's dozens of us... dozens!"
