MacOS
At this point, I would also second MacOS/iOS just because of how much the two synergize with one another. But if you're just doing basic shit and web browsing, iOS cause at least you can hold onto your phone for a long while before feeling the need to upgrade again.
There's a rule you should learn. Never ever recommend Apple shit to people.
There is another rule you should learn too: don’t showcase your Apple envy more than twice in the same thread.
See, there's the face of the fanbase. Poor people think Apple is expensive. I gave away my Macbook after a few weeks because it sucked and because I can 😏
It's important to protect potential customers of becoming like you.
My Fedora/KDE setup is superior in any regard. The only thing Apple is better at is screwing their idiot buyers.
You mean corporate hate?
Keep sucking off your overlords.
What do you think about Microsoft and Windows?
Even Windows users don't like Windows. Unless someone is setting up LTSC to avoid feature updates to not get AI crap and ads I would avoid Windows for the average consumer.
As a Fedora user - Apple has better security. Linux doesn't do everything better.
The French call that «l'issue du skill». Privacy and security start in your mind.
I said security. Privacy is related but different.
And you know that the answer is the same ;)
Apple users are the easiest to scam because they ... well, bought Apple.
#trolling
Is this some kind of a bot?
I don’t think he’s a bot, just someone who wants to shit-talk for the fun of it.
Check for yourself Schluppi. You seem a bit lost online.
