It was the case prior to 2015 or so before the amd open source drivers actually became good.

They didn’t exist prior to 2014. Amd also required proprietary drivers and were a significantly worse experience than Nvidia back then.

I’m half way on that journey, went from Rpi4 to M2 Mac Mini to host docker stuff and god knows how much in hard drives.

Really should look at used ones

lack of easy access to advanced utilities

Me and you have very different experiences to this, at work I've found MacOS the easiest of the three to sort out.

I'll give you a recent windows example, A PC comes in for repair with a b450 MSI board no audio on the Front panel or the rear I/O. Naturally we install all the drivers off the MSI web page except windows won't even detect the sound card. Throw on a Linux USB live environment instantly detected.

Naturally we're like no worries let's use the inbuilt Windows tool to reset the PC with a cloud download, nope that doesn't fix it. Required a complete reinstall from a USB. This was windows 10 22h2 iirc.

At work I see Windows/Mac/Linux daily and Windows, gives me the most trouble on a daily basis. With Mac/Linux most things you can fix from the terminal pretty quickly, or with Mac just use the inbuilt reset tool no matter how much a customer fucks up their machine.

I haven't needed to tech support on any of my Apple stuff in the entire time I've owned them, I have at home both a Linux server and a Mac mini running as a headless server. Guess how many times I've had to fix the Mac mini 0.

My iPhone I've had 0 issues with and my M2 Air which I use for work has had 0 issues.

I don't really see a situation where the sorting out a mac would be troublesome it's pretty much all simple as hell.

Oh and fun fact, I have done tech support for apple stuff on a daily basis as part of my job as a store manager of a retail tech store and I'm constantly thrown problems from Android/iOS Devcies as well as MacOS, Linux & Windows Devices and guess which ones give me the most problems.

AD Free YouTube is great tbh, it is generally a good experience no matter what device you use then throw in the claim it supports the content creators more seems like win win

Sure and with that trade off I have a rock solid experience with no issues at all.

Sometimes you get tired of android and the jank and want shit that just works so you can get on with your day and just focus on other things.

We already know that the west is corrupt, just as is the east.

It's not like it's news to anyone that politicians are corrupt, if anyone doubts that I can look to my own country the UK and see all the things the Tory party have done in power the last 13 years.

the impact on battery life relative to other apps out of the box is pretty atrocious. Reddit was always the app draining the most or near the most battery regardless of whether I was using it a lot cause it phones home constantly. That is already enough of a problem but then add in the fact that you had sponsored posts ( Adverts ) made to look like real posts that were 1 in every 5 it kind of grates on you.

Then there are the issues around the inbuilt video player that was barely functional at times on mobile for the longest time, it seems to be better now but it used to bug out and not play items properly and constant buffer issues regardless of internet connection speed.

Those were my biggest gripes and using Lemmy with Liftoff it's very noticeable how much battery life I'm saving daily and no I don't have an old phone an iPhone 14 pro

this is me also, I've used transmission for over a decade across three operating systems it's incredibly simple to get going but relatively powerful if you need it to be.
