Of course, it’s annoying, but the Apple Silicon experience is so good I don’t mind paying the higher markup.

Their walled garden is so bad that I couldn't imagine paying that kind of markup.

It’s pretty opt-in. My computing life is on a bunch of NixOS machines with Linux 5-series kernels.

I connect to the real computers via Apple Silicon appliances because they’re cool, quiet, tender fonts properly, play sound properly, etc.

I know a lot of people are into the Desktop Linux thing. “Mine is great ever since I upgraded to PulseAudio blah, everything is awesome as song as you never close the lid…”

Have fucking fun with that.
