    I am insanely interested but the apple ecosystem sucks. I use a MacBook for work because it’s that or Windows, but good lord do i hate the closed source walled garden. Linux at home ftw.

      MacOS is waaay better for that than iOS though. If you squint a little and try to stick to the CLI, you can pretend it’s Linux.

          That docker engine still runs in a small Linux vm.

          And the m1, m2, etc chips killed the use of VirtualBox for running full fledged vms :/

            but that’s hardly a viable desktop experience on its own.

            Wat?

            I just don’t get it, have you tried using Linux on desktop or are you just repeating standard phrases about it thinking that sounds normal?

              I think you might have thought I was saying “Linux doesn’t offer a viable desktop experience.” That is not what I’m saying. I’ve installed Linux distros on all sorts of machines, including Macs, and happily used it as a daily driver.

              I’m saying that a Docker container on a Macbook can’t offer a viable desktop experience.

      I LOVE LOVE LOVE how I can open the screen on my mac and immediately continue where I left off. I love how the entire laptop is made out of metal that doesn’t bend or warp and whose hinge works today just like it did half a decade ago.

      I hate everything else about the mac, especially how I have to pay inflated prices for everything. I hate even more about how fucking hard it is to get into the actual nitty gritty system settings on a mac. If I could find a reasonably priced laptop with great build quality and immediate boot, I’d throw my mac in the garbage or sell it off to someone else who would appreciate it much more.

      I guess I dont really need to mention I’m poor. If I wasnt Id already have got a second laptop that ran not-macOS
