imagine using apple garbage a decade after steve died. tim the sodomite buttfucked apple right into the ground with shitty QA and neglected hardware. it's not a computer company anymore, it's a fashionable "devices and digital services" company

I used to think similiar way, that Tim wasted Steve's ideas. But, after doing deeper research, I realised that apple was always capitalist, like, it was made to gain money.

It used agressive strategy of paying people to do things they (apple) wanted, which disgusts me. Tim is even 'better' at gaining money than Steve.

Personally, i kinda like how Big Sur looks and what direction apple is going, but you have still to remember that

a) Apple cares about money, not about us

b) There are better alternatives (i personally like and use zenfone instead of iphone, I think it is better than pro max and I can afford pro max, and, with whole Bill Gates controversy, I still think that windows 7 I currently use is one of the best systems, with compatibility with lots of stuff, still I hope for some really good alternative, but in current landscape it seems hardly probable)

c) We shouldn't support apple, even though action of a single person doesn't make much of a difference. Best action could be on big scale. I really wish trump did something, but no, he is still hated by liberals and disappointed conservatives, so he will probably lose and biden won't do things as well

Mac OS gets spyware, Windows 10 is spyware, how is linux doing nowadays?

Linux is doing good, check out linux ubuntu or linux mint if you want an easy transition from windows. It can do 98% of the stuff right out of the box, mint is especially impressive in this regard. Struggling with drivers for soundcards and stuff like that is a thing of the past with these OSes

I would not recommend Linux to a Windows user at all, because they prefer do do work on their computer instead of working on their computer. AMD OPENCL support is also spotty at best, and abysmal and non-functional at worst. If you want a Windows to Linux transition that's actually nice, Ubuntu with Unity 7 is better than mint because everything is right there, as Windows 7 or 10 would have it laid out. Mint has too many nested menus for my taste, and drop-down menus being deselected if you don't hover your mouse over them is a deal breaker for me. It's also a tad bland like Windows 10, Ubuntu with GDM or Unity at least looks interesting with transparency and dark mode.

Apple's macOS has a lot of things to care about. You have to focus on the fact that they can be easily infected too. I would rather use Linux or Windows with an Antivirus than using a mac. Follow this advice through and through if you want to be safer than when you were with Apple.
