Do people just have to consume or what?

    MacOS breaking less often is also because of their control on hardware and all that... Is it really hands off tho or is just incredibly dumbed down?

    Seeing as you're their tech support, when are you switching them to Linux :sicko-yes:

      Well yeah, it breaks fewer times and I have to spend less time fixing it so it is more hands off. None of the people that I'm family IT for care at all about customizing their hardware so it's entirely irrelevant for them why it breaks less. I actually care much less about customizing my hardware than the average Linux user too, once I get it working I don't wanna touch it for as long as possible lol.

      The windows people are getting moved over to Linux as soon as their current windows machine is unusable, i don't want to move the Mac people just yet because it'll be more work for me in the long term than just letting them stay there so I'm not working on that yet lol

        It's actually wise to focus on the Windows people first lol and by the time you're done with them things hopefully will be way better

        You're doing god's work :rat-salute:

          lol yeah, if nothing else by the time I'm done with the windows people, the mac ecosystem will be worse even if the Linux one isn't much better :sicko-yes:
