This meme is old enough to drink.
I was curious so I checked.
Aqua OS X logo is 2001-2007.
MS Vista - 7 Logo is 2006-2020.
Seems like you are correct it if the meme creator used the most recent logos at the time. So 17 or 18 years old.
It's almost too old for Leo to date.

Decaprio
oh that guy, everything makes a lot more sense now
MacOS is a great os, and it comes with solid hardware. If you use your laptop for anything except gaming, and you can pay premium, a mac is a really good choise. Also, it's a lot easier to develop apps for iphones from macs, and that's a thing that a lot of people do.

Given that's actually the only way to do it... (Without resorting to jumping through hoops via emulation)
And that is why my code will never be multiplatform. No way I'm going to sink several thousand dollars for a machine I will never use except as part of my build pipeline.
several thousand dollars
You don’t need the latest and greatest to build smartphone apps.
I've switched my laptop from an XPS machine to an M1 Pro MBP, and it's genuinely been one of my best purchases. I can easily do my work for an entire day, and more often than not, I can spend like 3 nights in a row watching something in bed too. Not to mention that it doesn't run like a furnace, even under load
I used my 2010 MacBook Pro for about 10 years before I decided to buy a new one (no longer supported by Apple). It ran great too, for being 10 years old.
MacBooks are great. You can still run Linux on it if you still want to use the hardware.
Or you can try OpenCore Legacy Patcher.
The m1 Mac mini when it launched for about a solid 18-24mo was the single best deal at the time (largely due to the insane GPU price hike admittedly but still very powerful objectively for the price). Very weird to say that but honestly it’s true. The minis are still very robust for the price.
HAHAHHAA APPLE BAD SUCH LEMMINGS HAHAHA IT’S 2010 AND I’M SO BRAVE
I might be an idiot, but I'm not going to use a Mac.
This meme also perpetuates the myth that to use Linux you must be an IT person. I just use it as a user.
This meme has the logos of the OSs from around 2007. Back then there weren't many Linux non-IT users.
I miss those old logos, the new ultra flat ultra simple logos are just so uninteresting compared to that era
This may be a hot take, but I don't think that on a linux specific meme community we should really care about what puts linux into a good light and what doesn't. I mean have you seen vegancirclejerk? We are here to laugh and that can be achived by self-deprecating humor or parodying what others think of our system of choice as well.
I am self aware enough to know that I am an idiot, but still use Linux and Windows.
Take that, flow chart!
2024 version: Are you an idiot? Windows Do you swim in money? Mac No? Linux
Wait I'm an idiot who has a life. Why am I on Linux?
I'm not sure there's a way to answer that without being unnecessarily mean.
cus ur not in 2005 anymore so linux is a usable os for most people
Stop bragging 😤
I would switch MacOS and Microsoft. You really have to be an idiot to install that malware onto your computer voluntarily. MacOS is much safer and if you still have the need for shenanigans you have a Unix terminal to play with.
you have to be an idiot to pay that much for something that locked down and unserviceable.
I’ve used Mac OS since 1988, BSD/UNIX since 1990, Linux since 1993 and Windows since 1995.
Due to my expertise with all these operating systems, I make enough money to have a life.
I predominantly use Apple hardware, partly because I can easily run all these OSes on it.
The Intel "cheese grater" pros were a dream multi-boot machine. EFI, clean, capable of great RAM, nice drive bays, dual ethernet.
So wait... Since I use both linux and a mac I'm a no life idiot? Yep, checks out.
I have a life and that’s why I use Linux because I don’t have 3h to wait for a single forced windows update
Programmers I’ve worked with all prefer MacBooks. And yes, you can run Linux on a Mac too.
