Yup, I have a Mac for work and I’m not a fan, I don’t even like the look of them, much less the UX. The keyboards suck, they don’t have actual mouse buttons on their laptops (I really miss my middle mouse button), and the gestures on the trackpad annoy me. I use a Logitech mouse (MX Master 3 at work, Triathlon at home), and both are way nicer than anything I’ve used from Apple.
I much prefer my Linux machines at home. They don’t lock up, my laptop (Lenovo ThinkPad) has real mouse buttons and the Trackpoint, the package manager just works, and updates don’t take forever and a day like on macOS. Oh, and I use Docker for work, and on Linux it uses far fewer resources because I don’t need a full VM.
Oh, and I can easily add more RAM to both of my Linux machines. I am not interested in any Apple products, and them selling with 8gb RAM just makes no sense to me since memory upgrades are so expensive and must be done at the time of purchase. So screw em.
Apple has their niche, but you’ll never find me owning a Mac. They are not useful for me. And fuck the proprietary nature of Apple in general.
That being said, I run 64GB of RAM and it’s glorious!
