I get the joke, but lots of people, me included, start to understand why people pay so much for a Mac. It's not the hardware, it's not having to deal with Windows.

Not a joke. Linux is genuinely better in most cases, barring some niche, very specific stuff.

I have 20 years of experience in Linux. I'm not the average "I'm using Arch btw" Linux user. I managed several services at work with Linux and have a homelab at home.

If I wasn't a PC gamer, Windows was gone from my house. That's how I prefer Linux.

Having said that, your statement is objectively wrong.

my lived experience for the last half decade is.... wrong?

i managed servers for a few decades too if thats what matters, and its different from desktop.

You're changing the environment to favour your fight. I agree with you, 90% of the times in servers space, Linux works better.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

not really.

im saying desktop linux is just as good nowadays since the beggining

As an IT person, Macs shouldn't exist.

They aren't computers, they are fashion accessories that just happen to compute.

No offence but you're a bad it person if you really think like that.

I love to suggest Apple products to my relatives, because they're too dumb and I don't have to give technical support, lol.

[–] mods_are_assholes@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

And what type of person are you who judges by their spending habits? For all you know I could be a 5 gallon lifetime blood donor that volunteers to feed the homeless. But since I don't like your chosen consumer identity product, I'm a bad person.

Get every manner of fucked.

I don't want to argue with you, because your thoughts are right and you raise valid good points when interacting on social media.

But just to add something, I didn't say he's a bad person, I have no clue about that, I did say he's a bad IT person. In other words, not qualifies for the role, if I can have an opinion on that.

Supporting such a fucked up company makes you a bad person, so 🤷🏻‍♀️

[–] pascal@lemm.ee 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I support the right tool for the right task, I'm not a company cultist, I'm sure Apple is as fucked up as Microsoft, I believe you. But I don't care.

That's fair. I have to build stuff for apple and it makes my work life miserable because they hate their users so much.
