Having used a Mac in a professional technical field for almost 20 years these threads are always fun. “It’s locked down! It’s an OS for babies! You can’t do anything with it! Mac users are stupid noobs!”

    All the developers at the place I work have MBPs. Apple silicon and long battery life are pretty great. I think people forget that Mac had a package manager long before winget existed and that a lot of unix code runs fine on macOS

    Well, you being professional with a Mac and the other expressions aren't mutually exclusive 😁

    Guess the 75-80% of other folks I work with are stupid noobs for using a Mac and never did anything because it was so locked down.

    all the same stuff? it's bsd under the hood. it literally functions just like linux. I run cachy on my desktop and while kde plasma is great, mac is fantastic as well. about the only thing better on linux is that I can game.

    “It’s locked down! It’s an OS for babies! You can’t do anything with it! Mac users are stupid noobs!”

    I mean, no other OS needs a “Genius Bar” to troubleshoot and repair the most basic of issues.
