> confidently claiming that all linux users switched to Mac I did not say that. I did not say anything resembling that. It's an absurd claim. What I said was: «All the professionals evangelising Linux in the 20th century have moved to Macs now» Which followed, and was in the context of, the sentence: «reading other people's writing about it and where possible talking to them.» In other words: the professional Linux advocates -- that means, the people who were advocating and recommending Linux to non-Linux users –- that I read and knew and sometimes have talked to -- switched. Not people in the Linux biz talking to other people in the biz. People like author Charlie Stross, who is occasionally cstross on here, who for years wrote the Linux column in the UK edition of Computer Shopper and was as such perhaps the most visible UK tech journalist writing about and recommending Linux. Or Neal Stephenson, author of the seminal "In the Beginning was the Command Line", which if you have not read recently you need to. Here's a free copy. https://web.stanford.edu/class/cs81n/command.txt https://web.stanford.edu/class/cs81n/command.txt Mac users now. Context is important and must be considered. You apparently did not. > and how Mac is the be-all end-all of computers. I didn't say that either. It's got a damned good case to be the most sophisticated general-purpose desktop/laptop there's ever been, though, and it's held that place pretty much the entire century so far. Tastes differ. Not everyone likes it. That's fine. I am not saying everyone should. But I'm saying that if you read the widest possible range of OS and UI discussion and debate, there is a fairly clear consensus that what was Mac OS X and is now macOS is, while flawed, about the best there is.
