The first conformant M1 GPU driver

I feel exactly the same about Apple's software. It's great as long as your preferred workflow matches the Apple-blessed workflow. But if it doesn't, you're pretty much hosed.

Desktop Linux is not as nice or facile or polished, but it feels like "my" desktop because I can modify it. When I use MacOS, it feels like I'm just renting somebody else's computer. It's a very nice computer, but it can never be mine.

I mean, that’s your definition of “yours” though.

It’s like saying that buying a condo isn’t home ownership due to an HOA having some oversight. Some people are totally fine with that, it doesn’t mean it’s less “theirs”.

I would in fact argue that exact point.

How much you control something directly relates to how much you own it mentally and practically.

I regret to inform you that your point would not be a winning argument with a significant portion of the population.
