Exactly.

When I was younger, tinkering around was a hobby in itself. But today I actually used my machine and I want it to work without hassle. I don't want to think about swap partition sizes, modeset kernel parameters and that kind of stuff. I want a reliable tool.

That's why so many devs use MacBooks. They're essentially Unix machines with a proper GUI and mostly work absolutely flawlessly.

I've been using MacBooks for over ten years now and had exactly one crash: when the drive was failing so hard, it couldn't even spin up anymore.

This is exactly me. For a server it’s Linux but for everyday use/work a MacBook Pro is great. It just works. It’s great as you can fire up the command line to manage Linux servers easily. That’s how I admin my Lemmy Ansible install.

For gaming I use Windows. It’s all about the best tool for the job.
