This would go from "toy for children" to "instant buy" for me if it ran Linux and not an entertainment pipeline with a captive app store.

- CafeRacer 8mo agoYes, exactly. Second this. I've run nixdarwin + aerospace now for a while on the older macos version and it's insanely how the customized workflow can improve productivity. Recently I started experimenting with nixos/asahi and it's waaaaay more better than even what I had on macos.

- ta9000 8mo ago“If this was not remotely like what it is it would be an instant buy for me”. Ok.
- DiabloD3 8mo agoNot true. Apple made a non-technological and purely artificial and somewhat capricious decision to not sell a product that was worthy of the Apple brand. They continue down this road because next quarter is more important than next year, and sycophants continue to buy unusable products just to show off the Apple logo to people who don't view it as a Veblen good. Apple could choose to sell to everyone, but instead sell to a minority. This is a choice. During recessions, it is not a good choice, and we have been in an almost persistent global recession since 2008. As long as Apple can claim they have a $1T market cap, nobody wants to hear that the emperor is buck naked.
