I get the joke, but lots of people, me included, start to understand why people pay so much for a Mac. It's not the hardware, it's not having to deal with Windows.
Not a joke. Linux is genuinely better in most cases, barring some niche, very specific stuff.
I have 20 years of experience in Linux. I'm not the average "I'm using Arch btw" Linux user. I managed several services at work with Linux and have a homelab at home.
If I wasn't a PC gamer, Windows was gone from my house. That's how I prefer Linux.
Having said that, your statement is objectively wrong.
my lived experience for the last half decade is.... wrong?
i managed servers for a few decades too if thats what matters, and its different from desktop.
You're changing the environment to favour your fight. I agree with you, 90% of the times in servers space, Linux works better.
not really.
im saying desktop linux is just as good nowadays since the beggining
I wish.
granted
As an IT person, Macs shouldn't exist.
They aren't computers, they are fashion accessories that just happen to compute.
No offence but you're a bad it person if you really think like that.
I love to suggest Apple products to my relatives, because they're too dumb and I don't have to give technical support, lol.
And what type of person are you who judges by their spending habits? For all you know I could be a 5 gallon lifetime blood donor that volunteers to feed the homeless. But since I don't like your chosen consumer identity product, I'm a bad person.
Get every manner of fucked.
I don't want to argue with you, because your thoughts are right and you raise valid good points when interacting on social media.
But just to add something, I didn't say he's a bad person, I have no clue about that, I did say he's a bad IT person. In other words, not qualifies for the role, if I can have an opinion on that.
Supporting such a fucked up company makes you a bad person, so 🤷🏻♀️
I support the right tool for the right task, I'm not a company cultist, I'm sure Apple is as fucked up as Microsoft, I believe you. But I don't care.
That's fair. I have to build stuff for apple and it makes my work life miserable because they hate their users so much.
