Well, then others made that decision for you. If you like Mac or not stopped mattering then 😉

Luckily in these few times I tried working, I had the choice. Would've quit if there were privacy - concerns, though I might be a bit picky with my data...

    I will ad that lately people working on Limux Machines has become much more common. However, they still make me do the demos because every screen sharing app works on my Mac, no matter what the client is using.

    (Plus I’m good at demos.)

    Well of course they work on Mac. It's a closed system, a walled garden of compability. Its main selling-point for the technically challenged.

    I would not really see that a a benefit though, as it's merely a symptom of an illness, even if inherently not bad by itself. If one doesn't care, then there's no problem at all and mac wins. Same as windows and android. Then it comes down to taste in UI or favourite tools. Or even "the brand" for the intellectually challenged.

    So things working is an illness. If computers are healthy and free things don’t work. Got it.

    As said, it all depends on the foundation if you value your data/freedom or not. If not, then fine, everything ia great. But many of us do to one extent or another. And then it's pretty obvious.

    It's not the working that is the illness, but the reason it does. I like when shit just works, I juggle 20 machines at home 😁
