Plus the Mac is a wee skiff in the open sea.

I'm in the same position. My Linux machine is for gaming and .... Interesting tasks that could be hazardous to set up on my Mac.
The hardware quality is sublime as well. However, dailing Linux for a bit and going back to MacOS made me appreciate it more. Homebrew is a hair slow tho 😂
What's your thoughts on Orion? It's weirdly niche, but has been killer for me.
I wonder if yt-dlp will still work.
Holy god. I'm not letting go of my '09 carolla and ebike. What the fuck.
I really like the fabric. Nice work 🙂
Did for me, at least. Having a "slower" version of reddit has done wonders for me. I've been able to get the news updates on Lemmy, but there isn't a deluge of dopamine hits in my feed like Reddit. It's done wonders for me.
I work in a .net shop. It is a hair painful, to say the least, and I'm constantly looking over the fence longingly. They exist, are the minority, and are a fucking nightmare by comparison.
Now now, saying its useless is a hair strong. It works wonderfully for servers. As a work station it can be a bit of a mess keeping perfect pairity with each new, sprawling branch of tech and standards. Especially when it's in a blind spot most people find convienent (looking at you webapps).
It may not work for you, and what's the harm in having more options for the consumers!
However, the evangelizing I don't understand.
I run Nvida and Linux pretty regularly. It takes an extra step, but if you aren't using a card at, basically, release it should be fine. 🤷♂️
I mean, I can understand the spirit of what they were getting at. It is a bit exhausting that in the tech community gaming comes up all the damn time as a demerit in the MacOS/Linux space (while the later is pretty painless lately) as though its the majority usecase. Heck, many deem Macs as "useless" because they aren't a target platform for gaming devs.
Calling gamers "whiny" is a touch harsh. Sure, buying a console makes sense for a good section of consumers. If they plan to buy a device that's only for gaming, is easy to use, and is relatively cheap -- I could get it. Especially since many game studios seem to focus on optimizing for consoles and don't fill their titles with weird anti-piracy garbage on them.
