why do Apple users give so much benefit of the doubt to these people despite all evidence?

Last time I’ve tried Windows, there were ads in the start menu. And when I tried Ubuntu, they switched from Gnome to Unity, so I ragequit. Also Ubuntu had ads for Amazon in its start menu.

I would recommend openSUSE or Fedora then. No reason to use Ubuntu

When did you try Ubuntu?

They had Unity from 2010 to 2017, so it must have been a while.

Ubuntu isn't Linux. I've been a happy Fedora user for many years now. Much more sane desktop settings than Windows or Mac.

It sounds like you haven't tried ubuntu for 5-7 years.

because when Multi-finder came out it satisfied our needs and don’t see a reason to change. I bet Apple has put a lot more effort into why they do things, then many give them credit.
