No constant broken drivers, no broken wireless, no daily broken conf files, no broken x.org, no system to maintain, it's a real pleasure to work on these machines, got mine in 2021 and never had a single issue unlike my Stinkpad with arch. Adults that aren't on the spectrum use Mac, I've met dozens of highly qualified engineers (clients I've worked for), I'm talking people working on satellites, adaptive optics, silicon wafer production, etc, every single one of them are on an Apple computer, and they don't waste their precious time screaming at their distro crapping itself after running apt-get upgrade. The Mac pill is the ultimate red pill, take it early in your career, or suffer miserably. #tech #apple #hardware
As long as you're happy with the way that Apple decides how you will use your machine. Something's trivial on Linux (swap CMD and Ctrl keys) is next to impossible on a Mac.
I mean yeah, it’s an inherent give and take. The only way anyone could possibly create the consistent reliability that Apple does is by locking down their products to protect them from idiot users fucking around and finding out. Someone who requires more access/customization ability also necessarily has to accept the increased instability as a result
You can actually do this in the settings with Modifier Keys. But yeah overall you can’t configure as much with apple by design
Anyone with self respect will hate how they lock upgrades, of course when it’s the company’s machine you don’t care, but that means no memory upgrades for years, and that is only good when they give a good spec machine
M1 Macs are good, destroyed the plague of intel
That’s how technology works, new stuff beats old stuff, they will be equal in few years.

I would be much happier if I take the TC pill
Were you on a Pentium 1 before?
I just wish I could game on my Mac. Other than that it does everything I would want better than Windows
This is the only factor that still makes me want to keep windows
Use gfn for mac! Its awesome
You came from arch Linux then yeah obviously. I'm a Mac user but arch is a bleeding edge rolling distro what did you expect.
I'm very confused about what problems you're talking about. I've rarely had any such issue on any if my machines since Windows 95 🤔
Had been using Mac for 10 years and switched to arch last year. Never been happier

What happens when most of your team is Indian?
Don't all tech companies (except maybe Microsoft) use Mac books?
I use windows at Amazon. But there's also people that use Mac books. I had no option to choose (prefer windows anyways)
Windows is far more common at AMD. At least on the driver related teams who mostly deal with windows. Probably doesn't count as a tech company here though.
