I've got a macbook nearing end of life and frustration with apple (the company, not the hardware which I'm happy with) has been pushing me to consider windows. It's good to get these reminders of how smarmy Microsoft is. I think I'll probably grit my teeth and buy another mac
- fakedang 4y agoGo with Linux and don't look back. Preferably mint, which is quite similar to the Windows look. The only issue I've faced is MS Office, but that's what I have my Mac for.
- nicce 4y agoLatest Mac (M2) hardware is just too good. My 2 year old desktop PC, which had top tier CPU, is now worse. It runs Linux but I can do the same stuff with Mac too. I even save with electricity bill by using Mac.
- fakedang 4y agoI agree too, but OP said he doesn't like Apple (for non technical reasons). I don't like them either, but M2 made me sell my soul to the devil.
- suslik 4y agoAny reasons not to consider Linux laptops? I have exactly the same predicament as you and feel like I'm finally ready to hop into the light side (Linux is by far the best desktop os these days).
- version_five 4y agoI should have clarified, I have an ubuntu machine I use for development. I use MS office and video conferencing a lot as well though so I need another machine for that.
