| Mine shipped with one. It's not perfect, but it's always been more than capable for me. Did yours not boot into anything on startup? |

| Snarky but I agree. I dislike how much MacOS changes with each version. My kids have a Linux box (NUC). I wish we could have Linux on a late model Mac Mini |

| Why is the finder the way it is? Is it actually easier to use than (whatever the normal file browser windows and linux uses is called) if all you ever use is macs? Most of the other quirks I can work around (though the default alt tab behavior not picking up windows of the same app is an insane default) but the finder is just unusable. |

Everything we do on a day to day basis exists as database records, either in sqlite databases hidden away in application data directories, or in the databases behind a million SaaS products. Music is done in Apple Music, photos are managed in iPhoto, and so and so forth. | |

| I wonder how many more sales Apple would get if they published enough specs to make Asahi et.al. first-class. |

| ▲ | askonomm 4 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | The amount of people that know how to and also want to replace their operating system is effectively a rounding error in the consumer electronic market in general. | | |
| ▲ | brabel 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | I like Linux and had Linux laptops before, but can’t comprehend why anyone would go as far as replacing MacOS on an Apple laptop. The OS is just fine, there is nothing superior about Linux Desktop environments. And you can easily run Docker containers for work that needs Linux. |
