I know that linux is the popular answer to this problem.
I use a Mac and it's a pretty good machine. I know it isn't for everyone, but it works well enough for me and has enough mainstream support. As well the hardware has gotten ' good enough'
MacOS is not hostile to me when I want to run and install programs. There is some opensource support on the platform and the a good amount of closed source programs.
I do miss the wide ranging PnP hardware support for things like SAS/LTO
Mac hardware is great. But they overcharge so much and are so anti right to repair that I could never give them my money
I have a 2012 MacBook Pro that runs exactly as it did when I bought it. It’s fast enough (i7), has retina resolution and can triple boot. I feel like I may have gotten my money’s worth over the 14 years it’s been running perfectly. The hardware is also still basically pristine.
Yeah the closed ecosystem is just cutting off your nose to game on your face
I think it's not hard to understand how MacOS is easily better than Windows. I don't think Apple is enshittifying quite as fast as Microsoft, if at all.
