- elorant 2y agoThanks but no thanks. I want to choose the hardware myself. I also want hardware that is upgradable if my needs change after a while. Linux is the way for moving off Windows.
- bakuninsbart 2y agoFor notebooks I find apple to deliver exactly what I need, at superior quality. I don't really like the os that much compared to Linux distros, but everything just works 99.9% of the time, which is a major plus when trying to deliver good software and make a good impression at work. My 8 year old MacBook still works without major issues despite being wrought through the wringer, which is impressive. For desktop I agree with you, being able to easily modify individual parts is a major boon, and modern Linux distros offer everything one might want if one is willing to tinker a little bit.
- baxtr 2y agoI’m an Apple fanboy, big time. At the same time I find categories like “god” and “evil” difficult when used in the context of corporates. Maybe Apple can be described as more honest. They sell you extremely expensive hardware so that they don’t need your data to be monetized. I think that’s a fair deal.
- pietro72ohboy 2y agoDon't assume they will never double-dip. The AppStore has ads inspite of Apple being a more "premium" platform.
- baxtr 2y agoYeah sure. They might break their end of the deal. But it will have consequences.
