Context: this is a legit screenshot I took on my workplace around 1.5 years ago. Hopefully it's been patched by now? Completely ridiculous behavior

Not to talk shit about Mac users, but in this day and age with how advanced technology is, you have to be insane to buy a Mac. What kills it for me is that nothing is upgradeable on the damn thing, like zero. If your internal drive dies, you're SOL. And if I got this correctly, they now have the bios OS on the same drive, the Internal. So, you won't even be able to get to your bios. You won't be able to install the OS on external hard drive in case you needed to. This is insane and I can never understand why anyone would buy into this shit.
I couldn't imagine buying any laptop other than a Mac because the performance to battery life ratio on everything else is awful. Plus if you want a UNIX system, it's an easy buy.
After owning an Apple ARM laptop I'd never go back to anything else.
You clearly haven't used Debian.
I've used a number of different Linux distros (including Debian) on laptops over the years. Although most recently my XPS 15 was running Arch.
But is that an Apple thing or an ARM thing?
