if this statement were true, wouldn’t less people use Mac OS X and instead use OpenBSD?
Mac OS X is hassle free
you buy the laptop, you open it, it works
- GianFabien 4y agoApple Macs only work as soon as you unbox them because Apple controls both the hardware and software. If you go an buy some random laptop, then installing Linux or Free/Net/Open-BSD yields unpredictable results. The only reason that Linux works in more cases than the BSDs is due to the far greater number of device drivers. Here's an idea for the AI experts, give a Linux device driver to your AI and ask it to produce a compatible, bug free BSD driver.

- doubled112 4y agoNot even Windows is headache free. I have an Asus where the NVMe causes a BSOD every third startup or so. Passes all the hardware diag I’ve done. No crashes for years using various Linux distros. I lucked out this time. They (my wife and I bought two) were purchased in a panic when we had covid because we realized we did not have enough computers for the kids to do online school.

I think Alan Kay said something like "People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware."
