Terrible? I love it. Since 84.

They run other things, too

What other things outside of containers or iPad apps?

You're part of a minority.

Linux with fully native Vulkan drivers, for one.

No offense, but you are the minority. Go buy a Framework, no? I get my Macs for macOS, not Linux. I've got other things for Linux, RPis, NUCs. If you got a Mac for Linux, that's on you, not Apple.

I didn't make a mistake. Macs are a vast minority of the PC market share, and you belong to that minority if you use macOS.

Apple eventually stops OEM support for Macs, which means that support via an alternative operating system is a foremost imperative.

So then don't get a Mac? There are plenty of other premium options similarly priced, if not more expensive, apples to apples, that will run Linux. The vast majority. I am not a macOS vs Windows vs Debian zealot, I have all of them and 5x more Linux thingies than Macs.

Sorry not sorry, I don't understand the sentiment, If you willingly spend $ on a Mac and then are salty that it doesn't cook rice, that's Apple's failing? Why Apple Watches don't run Wear OS? Why don't Android watches run Watch OS? Why doesn't my BEV run on corn?
