The difference is that you can install Linux on your Windows car and upgrade the engine if you want some more power. If a rear light bulb breaks in your Apple car, you will have to buy the new iCar 2 Pro Max™ or pay almost as much to get the bulb replaced.

asdfasdfsadfasfasdfNot on silicon macs as far as I know. Asahi linux would be the best option, but I wouldn't want that as my daily driver. Virtualization is more viable.

asdfasdfsadfasfasdfIsn't MacOS founded on Unix?
I had at least one Prof at university that claimed MacOS and Linux have more in common than Microsoft and has with either. The only thing tying MS and Apple is the vampiric nature of the companies.
Founded, no, but since OS X, yes. Not sure what your point is, though.
Edit: accidentally double-posted since first one disappeared
Yes, though I'm not sure what your point is.
No meaningful point. Just find it funny that everyone is so used to comparing MS/Apple. Its apples and ~~oranges~~ garbage fires (fueled by spreadsheets).
You're right (although to my knowledge there is only one Linux distro compatible with the new Macs), I just wrote down the first thing I thought of to say that Windows PCs are mostly open systems which allow a lot of tinkering and even the complete replacement of most components (BIOS can sometimes reflashed with a custom build, I don't know how feasible it is on a Mac).
installing linux on your pc is like 1UZ-swapping a miata (highly advanced toyotapilled car guy joke btw)
What about Acari Linux?
Still in development, but quite stable! I daily drive it
We actually got GPU drivers, touchbar drivers, webcam drivers, all we’re missing really is M3 support, microphone and Vulkan for the GPU (and Touch ID)
Took me a quick moment to realize that wasn’t a typo. Nice one
I’ve owned Macs for years. Yes, it is the second picture, but if you take the shroud off you pretty much do whatever you want. Meaning, I’ve got a proper Unix terminal that I can use to do anything. You can tune to your heart’s content, you just don’t have to.
Compared to my Windows machine, where I just count of doing a fresh install every year or two just to keep it running.
Hey, I never said I was gonna buy an Apple Car. I know how they play their game. I'm not holding the wheel wrong.
Linux users are the ricers of the PC world.
