When i did my undergrad (northeast state school), there were more linux users in cs / math than windows or mac. In startupy tech places they often use mac as well (instead of linux for some reason). And big tech usually uses mac (better reasons i think). Private schools and rich neighborhoods are like 95% mac usage, its wild. So I have always assumed it had to do with class growing up, working class kids like linux since they can run their own stuff and revive old computers.
- ok_dad 3y agoI can do everything that I want to do on my MacBook that I could do on my previous Linux laptop. I use the CLI a lot, and I can run any local servers that I want. I can program in any language and install or compile everything I need on it. Also, when it’s broken, I can take it into a store and it’s fixed in hours. I’m a parent and old so I value my time more than anything. Linux doesn’t allow me to do what I want while also being stupid easy to fix, which would be fine for young me, but not today. You value something else other than your time, so you prefer Linux because whatever you value isn’t available in Apple products. It’s not hard to understand: people like different things.
