I’m convinced people who post these haven’t actually used apple devices seriously without going into it with their superiority complex. the fluidity and peace of mind not having to find fucking drivers for some shit from 2004 that have long been consumed by time it just plugs in and works. Or the fact that for instance a MacBook comes with everything you need to say decompress a file without downloading winrar or 7zip it’s built in. The apple version of ms office comes with the device. Not to mention the software being specifically written for the hardware means i haven’t had a day ruining crash in so long i can’t remember. Not having God damn ads on my desktop you gotta be kidding me. Text messages on all my devices. My mouse and keyboard on my mac can automatically control my iPad. Sure you can kinda do these things on the bootleg os’s kinda sorta but when it comes out of the box like that and i don’t have to fuck with 20 3rd party apps and ads on everything is 10000% worth it to me.
Apart from office pre installed, Linux has all these benefits for free. And even then, many distros have FOSS alternatives pre installed. Not great if you NEED MSOffice for work, but many suites, like OnlyOffice, are fully compatible with MSO formats.
I agree Linux is amazing and I use it daily but the thing that sets macos apart is the integration with the hardware. i wouldn’t for instance make a pc specifically to turn into a hackintosh id just boot manjaro but as a hardware software package macos and m1/2/pro/max are what makes it worth the money for me.
In what way? You didn't say.
Coukd you... be more specific?
Every windows computer/android phone I’ve ever used has crashed at least once a week if not daily because they’re trying to account for all hardware configurations possible my MacBook and iPhone have crashed maybe 4 times combined in their lifetimes. Having my app im using on my phone preloaded on my iPad and mac ready to go when I pick it up, my mac automatically sensing that I put my iPad next to it and automatically connecting the keyboard and trackpad to it. Being able to run iPhone apps on my mac without emulation. Projecting my iPad or iPhone display to my MacBook. I’m sure theres so much more im missing.
Yeah Windows is shit, that's why I use Linux
