@perishthethought sorry for mentioning you too 🙇
I was answering to @CatTrickery regarding his message asserting that Brodie “harassed people but did not block nazis” (https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/6985902)

@Auli @BossDj Isn’t it logical ?

@CatTrickery @perishthethought do you have any proof of what you assert ?

@MajorHavoc Plus it can even be quite ecologically good, the parts are not serialized so you cannot replace them yourself, it almost feels as if you own it (especially once you own the software on it)

@pudcollar @flakpanzer Depends, in real computer science companies technical people will use #Linux
But if you’re not in a really technical company and/or in a not-that-technical division of the company, then I guess it will be BYOD then.

@carl_dungeon @flakpanzer Personally an apple job would be even lower on my list than a Windows job (which is already a deal-breaker to me)

@Semi-Hemi-Demigod @Artemis_Mystique Well, maybe the problems the students are facing are due to all of the software that the school uses being incompatible with apple. (Knowing how apple loves to be incompatible themselves, I guess that’s quite logical).

And I am sure an experienced user can find workarounds to get the computer to work properly. (#asahilinux being the first thing that comes to my mind, though I never tried #asahi personally because I don’t want to contribute to apple’s e-waste)

@Semi-Hemi-Demigod @Artemis_Mystique I totally disagree, I have to troubleshoot software installations for students and help them repair broken devices and I spend most of my time fixing one or two issues for the biology or mathematics students having macs. (And when their computers are broken, well I advise them to buy a new one which they’ll be able to get repaired).
It’s just not meant for serious computer use, IMO. The only contexts it beats #Linux et rivals windows seems to be in creative settings.

@mrshy @KuroJ Agreed, you also have the @slimbook and the @tuxedocomputers #computer which are well suited for running #linux since they ship with it out of the box !

@petsoi How does it compare to #musescore for instance in terms of quality ?

@ian @asciiandarch If all you do is web browsing, document processing and graphical games you may never ever touch the terminal ;)

@llii @Presi300 It was made for apple users and evidently so (it’s basically #alacritty and #tmux but closed source, cloud-based and with some AI bullcrap on top of it)

@Communist @WeAreAllOne
cannot speak for the second part, but I totally agree with the first

@SubArcticTundra @Haven5341 I personally think Manjaro is a false good idea.

You’ll have an “out of date” system (i.e., one-month-old) but packages from the AUR which are made for the up-to-date system.

Quite a nightmare to use IMO (and that’s not talking about Manjaro leadership and certificates problems)

@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars can reach all of them, although depends on what is considered a “sport arena”. I’m shocked not to see a “church” as list option, though 🇻🇦

@Dariusmiles2123 Damn, good luck with your employer. Some force their workers to have #fairphone phones to lower their impact, others force to have apple phones to … uh … well, not the same world.

From what I have seen, running an apple VM is completely feasible but painful and uses pretty much all your memory :/

@Dariusmiles2123 I think the question is more, WHY would you want to run macos on #Linux

@indigomirage Always better to do so, I just included a mention of the pre-built IDEs because it can be a hassle to set up and prevent people from trying

@indigomirage Neovim ? (there are pre-configured #neovim based IDEs with every fancy thing such as Nvim-Chad)

@randomaside @jackpot I’d disagree, chromeOS really is the worst
