Modern Mac hardware is excellent. The software is good too, but’s more a matter of taste. Not everybody likes how macOS works but Asahi Linux has made incredible progress so it’s a daily driver option for some already.

Actually, Linux doesn't block windows, it just isn't windows.

Just reason saying.

Can Recall not just be turned off?

For an update or two, at least. Windows features tend to get turned back on after updates quite frequently.

What's easier in Windows compared to Linux?

Graphics drivers. I can't say I ever had a graphics driver update in Windows that rendered my system borderline unusable, but I 100% blame Nvidia for me running windows until recently. I tried a dozen times over a decade and ended up back on windows when the Nvidia update trashed my system and I got sick of dealing with it.

What? When was the last time you tried Linux?

With flatpak, it’s usually a one-click process to install anything nowadays.

There's one in every thread.

The fact that the dev behind brave is a homophobe isn't opt in though...

That would be totally true if every software was distributed as a flatpak and every distro had flatpak enabled in the package manager out of the box. That's just not reality.

Not even then. For example the biggest Linux distribution in use is Ubuntu, and it doesn't have flatpak built in. So even if a flatpak of an app is available, a user of Ubuntu would have to already understand what a flatpak is, and already know that it would make the app installable on Ubuntu, and know that flatpak itself can be installed separately, and know how to use a different install method already just to get the flatpak system onto their computer in the first place

Switching to TempleOS made me hear the voices again.

That's why you leverage group policy or local security policies to disable these features.

Doing anything requires the memorization of thousands of commands that must be formatted perfectly and are specific to your distribution, into a black box that rarely provides any feedback at all, and when it does it's extremely generic.

I'm sure my inbox will be blown up by delusional people claiming you don't need it but it's just not true.

The simple act of installing software is crazy complicated and different on every distro.

My current distro has 2 separate system update apps and I don't really know how to use either of them, nor do I understand why I need to use them at all. Why does the system need me to click buttons to make it go? Just do it in the background. Then as soon as it's done I get another popup 3 minutes later saying another package needs to be updated.

Hardware compatibility is a huge problem, fingerprint readers, WiFi, facial recognition, Bluetooth, etc. etc. Very few companies make computers with Linux compatibility being considered at all. Everything will have drivers day 1 on Windows and then they'll trickle down to Linux a year or two later.

Nvidia GPUs are by far and away the most popular and they're still very painful to use. And even though that's entirely Nvidia's fault, the problem remains.

I dislike Linux the least but there's no way I could recommend it to anyone who isn't a giant nerd who likes fixing computers.

Actually it does! When youre installing, just delete the windows boot partition and your done!

MacOS isn't terrible, only the hardware is.

Apple's entire software design philosophy is god-awful. There's only one way to do things and if you don't like "The Apple Way", fuck you. "It just works" only works for very basic normie stuff. If you try to do anything advanced, it most likely won't work and it'll give zero feedback as to why.
