It’s more fundamental than that. We all chose our OS based on our use case. When I see someone mocking people for their choice of OS I see someone with issues who lacks the maturity and life experience to understand there are more than one use cases, resorting to primitive tribalism in a vain and transparent attempt to mask their hollowness. It doesn’t make me angry, it makes me sad.

As far as I am concerned, I don’t give a rat’s butt which OS y’all are using. I have used Windows (since 3.11!), Linux (Mandriva Linux was my primary OS for more than a decade during the 00s) and eventually macOS. Use whichever OS works best for your use case. I’ll never make fun of you just because your use case is different than mine. I’ve been there, done that, have the literal t-shirts to show for it.

Haha I catch your drift here.

I agree. I will never in my life purchase an apple product since they are nowhere near the same performance as windows is in my use case. But i can accept that other people but their products. They are easy to use and once you're in the apple ecosystem you will never get out.

You can definitely move back from Apple. My employee who’s only doing backend software development went from macOS to Linux a few years ago and he’s very happy and productive.

Yeah, I'm not talking work, I'm more talking day to day life. Watch, phone, tablet, pc, even TV. It's an ecosystem that catches you if you go down the road. Switching from a PC to Mac or vice versa is probably easy enough.
