    What’s the logic here?

    Saving money doesn’t make you poor, it makes you smart.

    Open Source apps tend to be more secure because you can see, change and audit the code.

    There were too many hacking Attacks for normal apps that contain mostly adware or Malware for both brands... As many are greedy and need to have some purpose to pay 100€ for just showing up on the store.

    With sideloading Open Source apps, you can enjoy a life many people call as the only free life you can have. Richard Stallman makes nearly a religion out of it with GNU.

    OSS has its own attack vectors which closed doesn’t, i.e. malicious code snuck into upstream libraries and going unnoticed for weeks, or outright buying popular oss code from devs to abuse.

    Neither is more secure.

    I dislike the Apple ecosystem a lot and the laptop I have on order is more expensive than a MacBook Pro 14 with M2 Pro

    Nah, performance.

    Which you can get in spades if you don't suck on Apples ecosystem like it's your mother's tit.

    If the performance of a modern Mac isn’t enough for you, you’re probably installing a million background bloatware apps and run them all in the background without knowing, like a boomer.

    You’re just not using computers right

    No, I was denying the fact that "If you don't use Apple you're poor".

    I am paying top dollar for a laptop that has the specifications I want, an exposed PCIE port for arbitrary PCIE devices to be dropped on the bus at any given time, perfect Linux support, and every part designed to be able to upgraded and repaired at will. Yes, if I ever need to, I want to be able to have 96 GB of RAM and 6 TB of storage installed. Apple simply does not allow this. In my case, my total configuration will be 32 GB of RAM and 3 TB of storage with a 8 core / 16 threads CPU with enough onboard graphical compute units to be usable even for some graphically intensive tasks with the eGPU unplugged. Even with its most expensive option, Apple does not sell a laptop that can be specced this far. I want to be able to connect Oculink eGPUs and not be bound by Thunderbolt's max transfer speed as well - and Apple does not offer this feature.

    Apple doesn't offer this. It would be cheaper to buy Apple in my situation, but it simply doesn't offer the features I ask for.

    Now the small challenge is: guess what laptop I have on order? ;)
