   @MK2boogaloo @histoire why is macOS for people who fear technology? It's literally Unixoid and they tech Unix at universities for computer science and similar.

     @MK2boogaloo @histoire but I didn't mean it like that. As a tech mfer you either know Windows or Unix. And macOS is the winner of the Unixoid systems. Not Linux or bsd or whatever. Plus a lot of shit just doesn't work on Linux. So if your tech job requires some tools that only work on mac. There you go.

     @silas @histoire winner? Linux definitely isn't perfect but it's so close, you can do anything and even more compared to windows and mac.

     @MK2boogaloo @histoire plus the apple silicon chips are actually insane. Kinda sucks you can't do a hackintosh anymore. But I love that someone finally doesn't just use the bog standard Intel chips now. I hope the 90s with all the different architectures makes a return.. Kindof.. I dislike every single thing being x86

     @MK2boogaloo @silas @histoire Unless they're oldheads who used Unix/Apple/NeXTSTEP machines back in the day. Given you can still do Unix stuff easily on Macs I would honestly take one over the average Winblows PC in most cases.

     @MK2boogaloo @histoire yea winner. Because Software is a popularity contest. Architecturally haiku is better than any Linux, Mac or Windows. And like 7 people use it.

     @Tadano @MK2boogaloo @histoire I don't use it super often though. But there are some programs that only run on mac. Genuinely I don't even shut it down lol. I use it for. Crypto mining when I don't use it because that thing genuinely uses I think like 12 watts. I forgot. But I measured it. It's insane.
     And yea because it's rented and I'll swap it out soon.... Actually really cheap for me too.

     @Tadano @MK2boogaloo @histoire lol there's a reason i have Linux on my pc I built myself. And then I also have a mac mini. But that is only rented... I'm gonna give it back and swap it with an M3 model. I don't use it often because I dislike the GUI. Its like a really limited version of Gnome. And I really like Gnome. So. I am annoyed and hate mac.

     @MK2boogaloo @histoire yes real life usage. Mac has software dev and like music or video production tools. You show me how to run Final Cut Pro X on Ubuntu. I don't use that but it's an example.

     @silas @histoire we have alternatives that ran quite good here. I don't know about music or video production but there should be plenty.

     @MK2boogaloo @Tadano @histoire I do have multiple PCs. My main one with a ryzen 3900x and a 7900xtx in it. Running tumbleweed BTW.

     And then an older Amd system I run TrueNAS Scale on now.

     Also a thinkpad running Ubuntu but I'll put some bad on it soon.
     And a mini PC that currently runs nothing.

     I know dozens of people that work with computers, and exactly one does video editing

     @histoire @silas oh yeah I forgot to point that out, just how many people exactly do that? Even in this niche part of the internet, I know only one guy doing that and he's @beardalaxy on irl it's like 3 at most? Other people only use the internet, looking through their pictures, watching movies, video games, and writing a document. Which all can be done within a single installation of Linux.

     @MK2boogaloo @histoire yea. But those are alternatives. It's an alternative. If you go learn video production or like game design. Chances are you will use premiere and Photoshop and Unreal.

     Almost no one is willing to relearn and entire job just because oh look it's GPL licensed.

     No one gives a shit.

     I think they should. I hate having a computer with closed source OS at home.
     But no one Really cares.

     @histoire @MK2boogaloo yeah well that's my example because I do video editing. And I really don't like kdenlive. But the programs I learned don't run on Linux. Olive still sucks. Davinci resolve for some reason I can't get to run..

     Like what's the options then. I put up with kdenlive but I don't like it that much.

     What the Linux Alternative to Descript? Nothing. It doesn't have one

     @silas @Tadano @histoire have you tried like dualbooting one of your PC? Or even installing the OS on another PC that you have???? Hell, why not run a VM if you like it so much? You told me you have a powerful PC, surely it can handle that.
