@SortOfTested Try turning it off and leaving it off. Think different, yo!
-
@Fast-Nop Hell yeah. Leaving it off until I can download a decent Linux distro to "dual-boot" into. MacOS must mean "ass-backwards" in German...

What's stopping you? I've had Linux on macs for years in numerous flavours. -
@SortOfTested
Never owned a Mac, but I heard that the newer models have shit linux compatibility. -

Linux support on macs is fine, sans the M1. If "their" definition of support not good is the touchbar only operating in function mode, that's a personal problem. I have wifi, bluetooth, keyboard, thunderbolt, trackpad support, under arch, elementary and fedora 3x+ -
@SortOfTested The "newer models" ARE the M1, and the models with Intel CPU featured hardware that was already ridiculously outdated when they shipped. But that didn't matter because the most important feature was and is the Apple sticker on it.

@Fast-Nop
You have to choose between being the "newer model is today, only newest technology counts as newer" guy and the "my hardware is 10 years old and was fine" guy. You can't be both. -
@SortOfTested Of course I can, at least with regard to Apple - think different! ^^
Take a computer, any computer. Remove all the useful shit that makes the operating system actually work and rewrite all the prompts in simple English. Just for fun, give it the complete inability to perform everyday tasks that a child could use an Etch-a-Sketch for. Put all the useful settings/options in the background and make updates look like they're going to install up until the last minute until they error with "Unknown" as the only reason. Now interface it with your cobbled-together backend system and REQUIRE it to communicate with that system for EVERY task.
Then paint it silver.
There. Now you have a Mac.
Fucking toys!
