        They might now, but I developed my hatred for Apple before the turn of the century when the mice had one big button and it felt like a child's mouse with features removed

          It's been decades since any apple product wasn't "A child's X with features removed"

              I really need to switch over. The only reason I put up with Window's bullshit is video games.

                Could try a dual boot. The gamers say most windows stuff works fine in linux through steam but I'm not enough of a gamer to have ever tried.

            I've had to get a Mac for work, and my god if it's not the most painful fucking experience coming from Linux. It took me two weeks of constant fiddling to get it usable, and even still there's a bunch of basic quality-of-life things that I've taken for granted from KDE and Gnome that just doesn't exist or barely works.

            Hilariously enough I've been looking at the Asahi linux project since then because at least Apple's hardware is good, and the things they've managed to get working on it so far actually run better on Linux than MacOS simply because it's such a shitty operating system. This thing will be a beast of a laptop in 2-3 years once they've managed to reverse engineer all the underlying APIs and gotten it stable for day-to-day use.
