My apple products (MBP) come from my employer
I ended up buying a Pixel 7 and slapping EndeavourOS Linux on all of my laptops and PC’s in the spur of the moment because I was sick of Windows and was not a fan of Apple. I dont regret it at all. I also grabbed a steam deck recently and I love it. Its so nice to not have to deal with the absolute bullshit that both microsoft and apple force you to go through. I have full control over my device and what goes in it. It’s quite nice.
Louis has stated many times that shitting on consumers for buying Apple products is not productive.
Used to sell Apple gear. One of the sales managers still owes me an apology for embarrassing me in front of customers, and then returning a week later and repeating what I said and not admitting they were wrong).
But, gave up on windows finally. The Xbox console gives me a black screen on Windows, and got sick of edge hijacking my chrome tabs and cookies
Apple’s attitude sucks, but at this point, Microsoft keeps doing weird things in Windows
Mac is the only way work will let me use bash. You can pry my MacBook from my cold, dead, hands if it meant I have to go back to Windows/pwsh.
