> the sorts of things I need a computer for have been a mostly-solved problem, by Apple, for most of this millennium.

For a long time now, I find that Apple and Microsoft get in the way and solve the wrong problems. The Walled Garden, GateKeeper, the "Recall" misfeature, invasive CoPilot LLM bling, abusive telemetry exfiltration...

I use Linux exactly because it solves (or provides a solution for) the problems that are important to me.

I can tell you that I look at the OS and often say, "OMG I don't want that!"

> "OMG I don't want that!"

This is exactly what's motivating my decisions.
