It's not like all the alternatives to Linux aren't that good. Mac is a walled garden and Windows keeps introducing AI slop feature after AI slop feature that actually publishes your personal information

I mean, Macs are certainly a viable alternative for many people...

But if you wanna use your PC to play games?

About 25% of Steam's library runs on Mac.

Whereas if you look at ProtonDB, 81% of games are either gold or platinum on Linux in general, 86% if you throw silver in.

That's gonna be a major hangup for a lot of people who want a PC that isn't Windows.

Oh right, that and Macs are all overpriced as fuck for the average consumer, when we are about to enter into the Second Great Depression.

Every time I look at Macs I just can't get over how ridiculous they are in terms of pricing. Combined with the inability to upgrade after the fact. Buying one would just doom me to buying another a few years down the line, much better to just never get stuck in the ecosystem in the first place.

Even the steam deck is more upgradeable!

Find a better, or equally good computer than the Mac Mini M4 at the same price.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Already have, there are loads of mini PCS on the market that were comparable to the Mac mini. Just do a Google search.

Better or equally good, not comparable. I know there’s a bunch of them, but none offer better or equally performance for the price, only “comparable”.
