I’m helping a family member build a pc. He wanted to use Windows because “Linux can’t play games” despite me having a perfectly good gaming laptop running Linux that runs all my games, even graphically intensive ones.
2 days later, no game has been played yet. We can’t even get steam to start. I even installed Arch on a sata ssd I donated just to verify the pc parts actually work (took less than an hour). It took 1 and a half days to even get the Windows 11 installer to get past like the 3rd screen.
Fucking fuck. Dealing with all this fucking bullshit is far worse than not being able to play a few trashy anticheat pay 2 win games. The anti Linux circlejerk is real.
Pretty much all OS installs have the capability to go really wrong. Once a Mac user was making fun of me for needing to deal with weirdness installing Linux on an old Windows laptop. He stopped when I asked if I should install OSX instead. 😁
Skill issue. You can absolutely make hackintoshes work.
Unfortunately, since the M1 is an Apple developed and exclusive chip Hackintoshes are not really viable anymore
Oh yeah. I jumping ship with my next system. Right now, my main rig is Mojave/Win10 dual boot with Linux Mint on my laptop and some debain on the headless stuff. Been a mac user since System 7. Things were looking good when it shifted to a Unix system, but it’s been getting less fun for a while. The move to arm is the final straw.
Of course, but that’s beside the point.
Every official MacOS update is an adventure that can brick your laptop. I don’t understand why Apple can’t fix this.
