    skip Linux and go to Mac

    no, mac sucks:
    infinitely less customizable, worse game support, the command key works in a very cursed way, the os is spyware, screenshot tool sucks, the “Dock” (app bar) takes 300 to 1200 mb ram and idk why, apple silicon gpu sucks, overpriced hardware, apple account, finder (the files app) is so bad that i often had to use terminal to do what i want (finder has no way to get the filepath, and no way to create a file)

    only advantage of mac is its stability

    and if you decide to install linux on a mac, you could have just bought a normal computer for the same price and the specs would be better, also displayport isn’t supported (yet) so you’re locked to a single display on most macbooks, and also it has the ARM cpu architecture so less software supports it

      no, mac sucks

      It sucks the same as Windows or Linux, just in different ways. We’re used to the way Linux sucks, I’m used to the Windows sucks, we’re both not used to the way Mac sucks, apparently.

      only advantage of mac is its stability

      Which is exactly why I recommend it to someone who’s unreasonable angry at Windows. They’ll have something new to learn, but something that is relatively stable (not as given as it used to be with MacOS 26).

      Linux is weird. Linux is finicky. Linux breaks because you looked at it wrong, or because there was a full Moon while you were eating PB&J. If someone is infuriated by something they can literally turn off in settings, they’ll be completely drowned in anguish if they switch to Linux.
