There is simply no other major manufacturer that makes hardware to a comparable quality level. I’ve looked at them all and nothing holds up as well as Macs. Case in point: I have an old 2015 11” MacBook Air that still works completely fine. On a personal note, my parents ran a Windows consulting/repair business when I was a kid. The sheer abundance and frequency of problems with Windows pretty much funded my childhood, so I grew up with a very negative view of everything to do with Windows and Microsoft. I imagine that people who remember the “old” Microsoft of the 90s also have a similar view, before Gates went on his PR campaign and they finally appointed a competent successor in Nadella. Ergo I have been using Macs since my early 20s, and for the most part I’ve been happy with them. Although I do think they’ve lost a bit of their magic since Jobs died. Linux seems interesting and I’d like to set up a cyberdeck running it at some point, but I simply don’t have the time or inclination to do so right now. Sometimes you just need your tools to work.
