> At least you are not being shoved onto Win 11.
As someone that just got out of a gig where I had to run Docker on MacOS - for the love of god, I would have done almost anything to use Windows 11.
Look - if I'm going to be treated like garbage, advertised to and patronized, at least let me use the system that can run Linux shells without turning into a nuclear reactor.
Lol, nothing is ever easy, is it?
If I did not love computing, I would have bagged on all this long ago.
If I were you, I would relax. At least you are not being shoved onto Win 11.
And then think about that. Seriously. I did. Have a few times off and on over the years as we sink into this mess.
I bet you find an OS that does a bit more than you may otherwise prefer to prevent trouble. If so, fair call in my book.
Just how big of a deal is that?
Compared to Android, Windows 10 and tons of network services and such and what they do not do FOR you, and instead do TO you.
And you can run a respectable and useful installation of Linux on that spiffy Apple hardware when it gets old. So make sure it gets old, know what I mean?
It could all be way worse.
