Because in some places renting is so much cheaper than buying it’s comical. Go look into rent vs prices of property and mortgages in London in the UK for example and then we can talk.

The 200-300 range has been dead really since the 5600xt and the crypto boom.
Second hand at the 400 mark they’re insane with the 6800XT
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
And that is exactly why I bought an M2 Air this year, price vs performance nothing beats the MacBooks at the moment.
I have never understand exactly what it is that people need/desire/require out of Firefox that they find missing but which a Chrome based browser is providing them.
The ability to log into any computer on chrome and load my profile, which gives access to my bookmarks and passwords.
As someone who has 4 chrome profiles due to work remote managing 3 of them that I use daily, Firefox will never be able to handle that.
if Firefox had some sort of cloud sync that wasn't oh hey you need to have multiple devices to make it work and just gave you a way to do it through the browser properly with even a paid option that would help.
That hasn’t really been my experience, talking to a lot of people tends to seem like most people seem closer to my age 30s with an interest in tech or a tech background.
I haven’t really run into many teenagers in discussions.
When my m2 air is eventually supported by linuxbproperly the debian installation will happen.
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
So I was one of those back in 06 and I’m in my mid to late 30s now.
I don’t use Facebook anymore and stopped using Facebook a decade ago because of all the timeline changes.
My guess is they’ve continued to make the timeline stuff worse and worse and that’s why people stop posting cause you don’t actually see each others posts half the time it’s filled with random suggested shit.
