Fair enough, I love QubesOS but found it clunky as a daily driver.

I like my work mac because:

gigabit internet + m1 chip = blazing fast turnaround for clients.

As a new business the best way I can over-deliver is via sped.

You'll never hear a client say:

"Damn that was great! But can you get it back to me slower next time?"

@UncleIroh @dander

Not a fan of apple products but they have saved me MANY headaches.

Ever since I got my mom all apple products I don't get incessant calls asking me how to do things anymore.

She just figures it out intuitively.

I've accepted that normies want trendy things that work.

They HATE troubleshooting no matter how simple the issue is so for them I recommend mac/windows >linux

@UncleIroh @dander Are they modern OS' though?

I have windows 10, 11, linux mint, ubuntu 22, and kali running like BUTTER with no fan noise.

I know I have a niche use case but I think it's reductive to dismiss the utility of a mac altogether.

Everything has it's use.

@UncleIroh @dander This reminds me of a funny story.

Back when I did pc repair we had a customer come in who wanted an new OS but didn't want to pay for windows as all he did was check email and play a card game.

So my coworker installed linux mint and changed and changed some icons.

This old guy NEVER cared and continued on with no issues.

He was also WAY more secure than 99% of old people now.

I haven't quite got the terminal yet but time will tell.

@UncleIroh @dander

I would recommend trying it at a best buy and you might be impressed.

This thing is optimized so well I hardly use the 32gb on my m1 pro and I'm running multiple VMs while rendering 4k video.

It got a little warm but no fan noise and I LOVE it!

But I understand I have specific narrow use case that justifies the absurd price. (Plus I got a student discount)

@UncleIroh @dander That's true privacy sucks on both mac and windows now.

Thanks to the patriot act and prism program expect that to only get worst.

I stayed away from linux as I thought it was too complex to be worth the switching cost.

Microsoft forced my hand with windows 11 I just couldn't do it anymore.

Funny thing is outside of a few bugs/driver issues most people could pay someone to setup linux and just use web apps and be WAY more secure than windows + antivirus

@UncleIroh @dander

Also a Mac is a little more secure due to it's lower install base making it not as worthwhile to create exploits for as windows.

It's not perfect but it has it's uses, especially if you do creative work.

Like I said before m1 the only apple product i liked was the ipad.

I would encourage you to try an M1 out it's a game changer for my workflow.

@UncleIroh @dander U se mac for some things because they just work better due to the better optimization.

Privacy doesn't matter to me because the MAC is only for work. But Windows 11 is just as bad if not worst when it comes t privacy IMO

I'm switching to Ubuntu because Windows keeps fucking up things that work in favor of being trendy.

Gaming on windows is superior but I don't game much these days.

@dander

I have 4 laptops.

1 Linux
2 windows
1 m1 macbook

The m1 macbook unlike windows has no fragmentation so it's better optimized for things like video editing

It also runs on an tricked out arm processor so you don't have to hear an airplane takeoff anytime cpu usage goes above 50%

I'm not an apple fan, they're just tools in my toolbox.

The M1 Mac is just my go to tool for video editing animation and virtual machines

@Tfmonkey

It will never cease to amaze me how bad people are at understanding second order consequences.

Now I have to adjust my plans and move to a place simps won't follow me so they don't ruin everything.

Just like the Californians moving to Texas they bring their toxic views with them and will ruin the place all over again.

Maybe the elites were right. alot of people not me have to go.
