Comment on Linux Desktop on Apple Silicon in Practice (2022)

Comments

What does the Venn diagram look like for:

“Linux is too much work so that’s why I use Apple products”

AND

“I’m putting in the work to install partially working Linux on my Apple Mx laptop and loving it”?

Do they share members?

More like, "Apple hardware is fantastic but I wish I had more control over the software."

it's more like "Apple makes great hardware and I prefer Linux pain over macOS pain"

Apple Macbooks are still class leading in efficiency and build quality, so some Linux tinkerers may still be drawn towards them.

I would expect that to be the entire case for the 2nd group. My only Apple laptop is a one for work, and my IT department can’t pick a password manager without contracting an agency, so I’m definitely not allowed to install Linux.
