Screw MS. Get a Mac, or use Linux.
Screw MS, go Mac? Why go from questionable closed source software to questionable closed software and hardware?
At least Mac's are a user-centric experience. You pay an absurd premium for pretty good-but-overpriced hardware and the software is designed to give you a good experience with limited choices. Windows actively antagonizes users with ads while charging users for the pleasure, and now they want to add a subscription fee!
What even is the value proposition for Windows these days beyond "it's what you're used to". And even that is less true than ever.
If people are bitching about their OS being shit canned after 10 years, how are they gonna feel about the 3 year turn around on Mac?
Macs only last 3 years?
This is one of the many, many shitty things about Mac. They are computers for people who don't like computers.
I also said Linux (my personal preference since … way back).
I use both Windows and Linux. Despite the "user-centric" experience MacOS only annoys me. I wonder if it's Apple's autism (do stuff our way) clashing with mine.
