It might just be the bubble of HN and Reddit.
I think Linux is great if you're willing to invest the time, but I don't fault normal people for not wanting to do all that. You can get a very nice MacBook for under $1,000 and everything's basically just going to work
- verdverm 9mo agoI suspect most of HN is on Mac as well I'm technical, ran linux for more than a decade on my personal laptop Done, never again, not worth the constant brokenness. I want to program, not fix my computer on every update
- 999900000999 9mo agoFor me I need at least 2TB of storage, so a MacBook would end up being 2500$ to 3k, vs buying a 500$ Windows computer and adding a 100$ SSD. I enjoy the struggle of Linux, even though I'm stuck with Windows for a lot of things. Linux provides a better developer experience imo. But it's like owning a project car. You're better off buying a Corolla, but where's the fun?
