Apple should just switch to making servers instead.

  Ok, what am I using on my workstations then? Windows? Hell no. Terrible hardware, OS sucks. Linux? Hell no! Terrible hardware, desktop is terrible.

    Linux (especially KDE) is probably the best desktop OS right now. Not great for laptops though
    • humanfromearth9 2mo ago
      Why not great?

        Battery life. I love my Linux laptops, and I don't mind being selective to make sure the hardware's fully supported, but whatever the reason Mac battery life is second to none.
      • alphabeta3r56 2mo ago
        Yeah battery.

    What are your gripes with linux desktops?
    • TSiege 2mo ago
      what’re your gripes with people wanting to buy a Mac for the OS and hardware? It’s nice to have things work out the box

        oh cool, where can I get a Mac that does that?

      Apart from anything else the keybindings are the most annoying thing ever.

        My NixOS + Hyprland desktop largely has the same shortcuts as OSX. I super+space for launching things. Super+Q for quitting. Custom keybinds are trivial. I always thought KDE and Gnome were kind of garbage, but Hyprland gets out of the way and really lets me build the desktop environment I want.

        Lmao keyboard shortcuts in Linux are AMAZING. In that I can make them what ever I want
        • saagarjha 2mo ago
          You can usually do the same for macOS and from a single place to boot
      • shit_game 2mo ago
        I can get that being annoying. I enjoy that keybinds are a configurable thing in the linux distributions and DEs that I've used, and I've found that most tend to have sane defaults. I assume that the situation is similar in macOS, but I don't know. The last time I've used any version of macOS was in 2008 during school, and I was far too young to really "get" computers, so I never experienced them in the way that I assume many people do now. The only other Apple products I've used since has been some combination of fourth gen and seventh gen ipod nanos (which were excellent, save for windows iTunes). Is there some secret sauce that Apple has that I'm just unexposed to that makes it wonderful?

          I've used linux desktops for years, and in my experience it is quite difficult to fight against the default keybindings. It is much easier to go with the status quo, which is annoying especially if you regularly switch between a mac and linux machine.
