At _least_ you're not forced to use Microslop. But that's been a pretty common refrain from a lot of devs - the Macbook is the lesser of two evils.

  I've been given a Winblows machine in the past. My boss thought he was doing me a favor because it was a powerful machine... Sorry... all I need is ssh...

    Why not just install Debian (or whatever) on it, instead of suffering Windows?

      Because it was a work machine?

        Yes...? Didn't stop me before. Unless it's some locked down, domain-joined e-waste like I have now. Public sector IT policy literally prevents me from doing certain tasks at my job, and makes others take four times as long. Not even my email works properly. Last job was a lot of SSH and webshit like Jira, Confluence, Odoo and Google apps. They didn't care if you used Amiga OS as long as your work got done.

            Because our IT dept. is both incompetent and paranoid, which is an annoying combination. I keep my own X1 Carbon with Fedora in my backpack, because it's easier than arguing with them.
