Mac is too expensive

Have you ever paid for a copy of Windows? You know you should, right?

If you’re talking about hardware instead, Mac computers are expensive but when it comes to quality the vast majority of PC laptops feel like fucking toys compared to them. When I see a hp or dell laptops Im repulsed (not talking about super duper premium lines which are hit and miss at best). I personally use an M1 macbook pro and I love the computer, the OS is starting to bother me though and I really wish Apple weren’t dicks and would make Linux run on the M cpus themselves.

I think they won't implement the linux driver because that means they will need to put their driver code in the kernel, hence needing to open source their driver.

My current and all-time favorite laptop is an older MacBook Air (Intel) running Arch Linux. The quality of Apple hardware combined with Linux is unbeatable. I can't wait until we get a reliable Linux distro that runs on Apple silicon.
