They're gonna try their damndest to stop this Linux and MacOS exodus.
I hope they fail for a long time. I don't want windows to go away, less competition is bad, but I REALLY don't want people crawling back already before microslop has actually learned a damn thing.
I still think it is wild that if you told someone 10 years ago that MacOS market share would skyrocket and that Apple started to make fairly conpetitively priced computers with their own chips to where it is a legit alternative to a typical laptop shopper, you would have been called crazy.
I'm sure many hate Apple in Lemmy side, I myself use SailfishOS and Linux, but you have to agree that to your normal person, Apple is a very conpetitive option for laptops nowadays which was previously not the case.
Right?!? It's like we're in the upside down or something at this point.
I've been watching the steam hardware survey very closely this year.
I run Fedora KDE but my wife needed a good laptop for work this year. Mac Neo was a no brainer, we got it for the initial $600 and it's a fantastic piece of tech, actually unbelievable how much value is there.
