I don't like Apple but they ship their devices with everything a basic user needs and if a high quality, completely for free. When you get a MacBook you don't need to worry about finding and downloading an external app for almost anything - from viewing any kind of file, to basic photo and video editing, to document processing, etc. And they don't track every minute thing you do and act like malware to try to make you use their products.
Lol overpriced locked down PoS os
eh I use Linux on my desktop but macOS is a nicely polished UNIX operating system. It's only locked down for average users, you can usually get away with a quick
sudoor worst-case going into single user mode and disabling some system protections.I definitely prefer using *nix operating systems, and macOS gives me that for portable computing. I'm still more productive on Linux, but it's not too far apart.
This is how I feel too. Rather a locked-down polished UNIX system than Windows.
