Apart from office pre installed, Linux has all these benefits for free. And even then, many distros have FOSS alternatives pre installed. Not great if you NEED MSOffice for work, but many suites, like OnlyOffice, are fully compatible with MSO formats.
I agree Linux is amazing and I use it daily but the thing that sets macos apart is the integration with the hardware. i wouldn’t for instance make a pc specifically to turn into a hackintosh id just boot manjaro but as a hardware software package macos and m1/2/pro/max are what makes it worth the money for me.
In what way? You didn't say.
Coukd you... be more specific?
Every windows computer/android phone I’ve ever used has crashed at least once a week if not daily because they’re trying to account for all hardware configurations possible my MacBook and iPhone have crashed maybe 4 times combined in their lifetimes. Having my app im using on my phone preloaded on my iPad and mac ready to go when I pick it up, my mac automatically sensing that I put my iPad next to it and automatically connecting the keyboard and trackpad to it. Being able to run iPhone apps on my mac without emulation. Projecting my iPad or iPhone display to my MacBook. I’m sure theres so much more im missing.
Yeah Windows is shit, that's why I use Linux
Woah, cool! Completely unrelated, but I just upvoted your comment and it reloaded just that comment to reflect your recent update! Didn't have that on reddit!
Ah, I also was unaware of this feature. That's good. I'm terrible at proofreading, and always end up needing to back and correct things after posting. So, if someone's already typing before i edit, there's still a chance they'll see my edit before sending their pedantic correction haha!
