After the last five years of MacOS releases I have no idea why I would buy a Mac. The software is Windows levels of garbage. At this point I honestly think GNU/Linux is the best desktop operating system. I don't care about the hardware when the OS is straight up trash. They even broke decades old keyboard shortcuts. This is Digg levels of self-ownage. At this point Apple is anti-user and especially anti-developer. They finally got rid of Ives, I hope they do the same for whoever tanked their software direction. I hope Musk does to Apple the same he did for Twitter. Burn it down.

Their software has certainly taken a bit of a downturn but this is hyperbolic. Its not THAT much worse.

  It's trash. My MacBook has been an adversary for years now. My 2014 MacBook finally aged out and doesn't get updates. I have no idea why I would buy another Mac. There's zero value proposition. I'd rather replace the battery and install Linux.

    So just to be clear, you’re basing your qualms on a 10 year old MacBook?

      I use a 2019 MBP at work. I haven't seen anything compelling from Apple on the software front in a decade.

  I hate it with a burning passion. I can get used to it, but I wush I could just runlinux on it. Apple absolutely has a worst software engineering culture on a planet.

I know a comment like this is more about you expressing your emotions than making a coherent point, and I agree there are things to dislike about MacOS. But have you actually used windows lately? The windows that forces tabloid headlines into your start menu? Apple is a long way from putting tabloid headlines into Spotlight results

  Yes, I have used Windows recently. MacOS barely manages to be the less bad option, but is still essentially useless. "We don't put ads in your desktop search" is an incredibly low bar. Apple can't do that because Spotlight is too busy reindexing itself again, for some reason. It's embarrassing.
