What's wrong with Apple hardware? I hated the 2016-2020 era of butterfly keyboards, limited ports, overheating processors, and touchbars as much as anyone, but I'm really happy with my 16" M1 Max these days. I wish it had a USB-A port instead of an HDMI port, but it's otherwise brilliant.
Meanwhile, macOS frustrates me more and more each update. Back in 2015, I would never have considered switching to Linux. At my last job, I spent an entire year on Manjaro and only switched back to macOS to do iOS dev.
- horsawlarway 4y agoThis matches my experience. I actually like Apple's hardware a good bit - but I absolutely despise the OS. It's a bloated hog of a thing. I still wouldn't ever buy an Apple product, but the work issued macbooks are generally decent hardware, just avoid the 16 inch intels they put out, those are rubbish. The software is annoying as all get out though, and they're only becoming more and more tight with control around it. Kexts going away is painful documentation is bad scripting is much harder than it should be FS is... obnoxious at best, utterly bug ridden at worst The apps they put out are fine I guess (I really don't use basically any of them) but the base system feels like a tire fire right now.
