Well, I found that I am mostly using my Linux desktop specifically because it doesn’t require me to obligatory sign in into the services I don’t want to use. Unlike Apple, Microsoft and Google.
And also this is why I don’t use Ubuntu anymore.
- geerlingguy 4y agoApple, fortunately, doesn't require any account signins to use anything that comes out of the box on a Mac, iPad, or iPhone. I know this because I have one of each running in my home with no associated cloud accounts whatsoever. They do nag you a bit (not aggressively like Microsoft, who is like "are you sure you want a terrible experience using this computer?"), but it is entirely possible to be productive outside of the iOS ecosystem, which does require an account to load apps.
- kccqzy 4y agoA large number of software engineers, even those at rival companies, actually use Macs for their work. If Apple forces those users to set up an online account for basic functionality, I'm sure Apple would lose so much business, because those companies aren't going to want to deal with iCloud.
