Your Computer Isn't Yours

This could have been written by an Apple user circa 2000, when the entire world ran on Windows.

I switched from Mac to Linux, and it's been fine, partly because I used a laptop that has Linux installed by the manufacturer. If you only ever used Hackintoshes you'd think MacOS was a mess, too.

Even better : Switching to Linux on a Mac. So you get a blazing fast Linux experience on a very sturdy long-lasting laptop. I did just that. I love it.

Dude. Installing Linux on a Mac laptop is a nightmare. What model/year did you use? Do external displays work reliably? Does your web cam work?

Long-lasting? Sturdy? You mean the ones tuned by Apple to maintain silence by overheating?

The number of aluminium balls (battery swelling) that used to be Apple laptops I've seen recently makes me a bit worried.
