And this is what you understood from that?

Intel Macs will soon become obsolete. Lots of folks will not just throw away a few years old machines. So between the choice of ditching perfectly fine hardware due to an unsupported OS or switching to Linux, it's really a no-brainer. Unless of course you live in the SV bubble and change devices every 6 months in which case kudos to you.

I was referring to this:

> Seeing how you can resurrect much older hardware with Linux, the only question that remains is why some freaking companies still refuse not to support Linux with their software - and I'm not just talking about Adobe here, but companies like Panic, Pixelmator and others that choose to be Mac only.

Those companies don't care because those people are non-clients anyway.
