And get confronted with Apple’s version of enshittification? The grass is not as green as it used to be in cupertino world.

I have a M1 laptop so I kinda suffered some aspects of MacOS. But, when I have a problem, it just feels like this:
Windows: Chances are the problem doesn't exist.
Linux: Spend 6 hours to fix it.
MacOS: Spend 50$ for software that fixes it.

Apple has a long ways to go before they get to Microsoft levels of enshittification. The News app has ads and premium-only content mixed into the content you do have access to. They know I don't pay for News so stop showing me the articles I can't read, please. I know that's the whole point. They want me to get annoyed and pay for it. And I think there are random nudges throughout the OS to pay for iCloud. But it's a far cry from the ads and clickbait and unwanted notifications and resetting user preferences (Edge browser, etc.) that Windows does.
