I don’t understand. Can you explain?

He’s suggesting that people shouldn’t buy apple products.

Given that the only viable commercial alternative is Windows, with arguably much more egregious user-hostile behaviour (especially towards power users) I find his comment disingenuous.

Edit: Downvoted for answering? Shame on you HN.

Hey, if you don't want to admit that both OSes are metastasizing the same tumor it's not my problem. I don't use either MacOS or Windows nowadays, but my experience developing with WSL was ~10x more stable than any Mac environment I've made for the same purpose. For Docker, the performance differential is so wide it's embarrassing.

The alternatives are not commercially viable. (even though I am a Linux/OpenBSD user- and a loud one).

MacOS is perfectly serviceable with things like colima.

Calling MacOS user-hostile (due to SIP being enforced?!) is quite a bit different than the actual major usability issues that Windows has been pushing on users, it’s not fair to compare them like this.

Commercially viable Linux desktops can’t come soon enough; though desktop computing is dying.
