Re:Linux Touchpad Like MacBook Update: Touchpad Gestures Now... by kayodelycaon on Tuesday December 14, 2021 @04:11PM (#29557822)
MacOS is a lot easier if you restore from a Time Machine backup. In four hours I can buy a new machine and be logged in and working like nothing happened. Done that plenty of times.

I think the biggest thing I can point to is how well Apple products work for the average person. I buy new ones every 2~3 years and keep N-1 as a spare. N-2 goes to someone who has asked me too many PC support questions.

Everyone I've given an apple laptop has eventually bought a new one. They bitched about the price, but they were ultimately willing to pay for it. My dad worked for IBM for many years and was not happy I "wasted money" on my first mac in college. Ten years later after him still saying that, I gave him a laptop. That was a few years ago and last month he bought a new M1 Air. Meanwhile, a number of the people he works with have converted to Apple laptops because they've seen how well his works.
