At least within the eco system, Apple aren’t going to push ads onto your computer.

The dichotomy isn’t Apple vs PC anymore. It’s walled garden vs freedom. If you’re going to choose a walled garden, Apple sure is the nicest. If you want to own your hardware you need to start supporting the smaller players.

They too bundle useless apps like News, Stock, etc. even if you don't want it or will ever use it on every Apple device.

You can delete most iOS apps: Stocks, News, Mail, Safari are all removable. Also they are not ads and can actually do something useful. MacOS is also ad free.

While I agree that Apple is much better than others in not bundling adware with their product (the exception being App Store, which is also an advertising platform for them) they do bundle many apps with their device. And bundling is also a kind of advertisement / promotion. And on ios you can't remove some of these apps but only hide them.

I don't believe Apple will pushing ads, but their laptop can't run OS other than macOS. So if they do harmful thing for macOS, there's no way to escape with same hardware, until Linux hackers make it possible to run Desktop Linux.

^ Absolutely not true.

I even got Linux running on an decade old 12in PowerBook G4.

There is even a browser made for PowerPC, although the name escapes me.

Do you know what's happened on M1 Mac?

Linux is being ported to M1: https://asahilinux.org/

I run Linux on my Macbook Pro 2013.
