I’m going to be honest, I know people on Lemmy love Linux, but it always is kind of impressive that Apple has built a very successful brand basically catering to the 90% or whatever of home users who basically just use their PC for social media and video watching and maybe some very minor photo editing/management

I'm a die-hard Linux guy, but nothing compares to Mac for music production. They've done something magical with the kernel that gives you almost no input latency, like I could plug my guitar straight into a MacBook and record over a backing track in real time, it's nuts. I've tried the same on Linux, and there's just nothing out there that can match it.

Allegedly, Pipewire is a lot better at that now, you should give it another try!
