    I switched to Mac after my old Asus laptop went out. I figure why bother with a PC laptop, it’s not gonna game and let’s see what the fuss is about. Love my MacBook Air. So then our desktop dies and I give my wife 3 options. A Mac, a cheaper PC, and a more expensive PC. She’s Android, figured she’d want to stick with Windows, but she picked the Mac! So happy. I mostly game on Switch and Xbox these days so that’s fine.

    I keep feeling like I left Windows at the right time.

      Being happy for someone switching to mac and being on lemmy where everyone is on the Linux train, was not on my bingo card.

        Thanks I guess? Surely Mac and Linux users can be friends or at least allies against Windows. Linux comes from UNIX which macOS is based on so they’re very similar, only one is FOSS — which I suppose is the point — and the other is not. But another commonality — Macs and PCs can both run Linux.

        How does Apple’s profitability being a little less than it used to be (they’re still insanely profitable) imply that it’s a “sinking ship”?

        I’m a Linux user as well, but use macOS at work and it’s fine.

          Did you watch the video or are you guessing based on the thumbnail? Because the video isn’t about Apples profitability.

            I watched the first minute or so, which was about their stock price relative to Microsoft. Profitability is a huge part of a company’s stock price.

            I didn’t watch the rest because I’m not going to watch a 30 min video without a good reason to.
