Seriously, they suck. Do people outside the west even use them? I think the user interface sucks even. I wouldn't hate them as much if their users weren't basically cultists.

I used an iPhone for 10 years. I never liked it. I had a Mac for 5 years. I never liked it.

    After using a 10+ year old Macbook someone dumped on my lap as e-waste, I'm a believer in Macbooks now as far as ergonomics is concerned. None of the non-Macbook laptops I've owned or serviced comes close to how it activates the "it just feels right" part of my brain. Not a single one. Only real con is it doesn't have an Ethernet port.

    As for the OS, MacOS better than Windows but worse to Linux. I gave MacOS a chance before dual-booting Fedora, and yeah, the Macbook with Fedora is definitely better. Not exactly a fair comparison since MacOS Catalina is no longer supported, but Catalina is like the Windows 7 of MacOS in terms of how Apple fanboys look to it with nostalgia apparently.

    The moral of the story is to make friends with Apple fanboys so they will offload their old but perfectly functional Macbooks on your lap lol
