At this point anyone that voluntary uses windows is just braindead. I love Linux but if you don’t wanna use that then even Mac is better than that… For now
Just to clarify, when you say voluntarily does that except people who need specific programs that just can’t be used on Linux? Because it would in my mind.
If you buy a mac, you just prepaid the subscription fee in the hardware price. Then they hook you into an environment where you have to pay it for every new device.
I’d argue buying a PC you have to opt in to subscriptions, buying a Mac you can’t opt out.
iCloud for sure basically ropes you into a subscription if you want to do the backups with them as the free-tier is basically peanuts for space, but outside that (unless that’s what you mean) I don’t think they have any subscriptions that are really opt-out?
I absolutely agree they get you roped into the ecosystem though, the hardware cohesion makes it difficult to purchase outside of their line.
I disagree, VR, simflight, good cad software, archicad (or if you are somehow deep in stockholm syndrome) adobe need windows. Also smaller stuff like race datalogger data analysis program doesn’t exist on linux.
Linux does not have enough users to have solutions for everything. Yet.
For kernel AC games, they are bad rehashes anyway and there’s 20 alternative games for each that are better.

Did you mean to suggest that Mac is better than Linux? In what way?
They meant better than what MS is doing. Basically Linux would be choice one, but failing that get a Mac. Until they go the same direction.
Ye exactly
Gotcha. Thanks for clarifying.
