  • So I’m a die hard apple boi as well, but I’ve been getting into Linux a bit lately (to replace my windows machine that was solely for gaming)

    I think the main reason I still stick with Apple over Linux for most things is that Linux requires more tinkering.

    Every time I wanna play a new game I need to try out different versions of protons until it works. When I need a new software, I have to go google if I CAN have it, how to get it, or to find out what exact version I should use for my distribution, etc.

    Linux, as impressed with it as I am so far, is like having an old classic car I’m fixing up. It’s a hobby. I need to dedicate time to learning, maintaining, and optimizing my experience. So it’s great for my hobby of gaming!

    My Mac just works when I need it to work, no tinkering, no second thoughts. It’s the boring but reliable modern car I take on long trips. I just use computer, get work done, without roadblocks I have to google derailing me every 10 mins.

    I’m all for Linux, I’ve very much enjoyed it so far and will continue learning, but as a “normie” using Linux, the simplicity of Mac is often missed.





  • I don’t like it, but in reality I have 2 choices.

    1. Someone who is supporting awful things around the world, but will (at least temporarily) protect myself and my community. or
    2. Someone who will continue supporting awful things around the world, and will without a doubt persecute and hunt me and my community.

    It’s a shit choice. But its an easy choice. One candidate is a very real threat to not just myself, but my friends, family, and community. The other is not.

    I’d love our magic 3rd option to show up and be viable, but they won’t. We all know this.
