The only few reason I know so far is software availability, like adobe software, and Microsoft suite. Is there more of major reasons that I missed?

      It really is, after reading whole threads about people shitting on Apple products for no good reason. Not criticism, but name calling etc

        I don’t like Apple because of the close ecosystem and they choose what they believe its best for you. I like to own my devices , and install whatever I want do whatever I want on them.

          Fair enough. I like their ecosystem, even if it’s closed. It just works and that’s all I need. I still don’t understand what you mean by „I like to own my devices”. You bought the phone right?

            Oh no I mean phones are so difficult to modify and install another OS. I used to own a Oneplus 3 and I was changing the ROM almost every week , I was so excited to have a different feeling for my phone every time I install a new ROM and even if I brick my phone it was my fault and I wouldn’t complain. I like to change the ram , change the hard drive , change the OS my hardware. I don’t like being stuck on the same ecosystem and having to relied on a company.

              Found a distrohopper haha Kidding, good for you! Personally, I need at least one thing I don’t tinker with, it’s enough I’m on Linux (arch btw lmao)

                I am a distrohopper and I don’t like companies telling me what I can or can’t do with the devices I bought. Lol I don’t use arch just Fedora for now but I have the freedom to change to whatever if I had a Mac what else do I have? Asahi Linux?

        Apple products are generally fine, its their ethos that sucks. Closed, expensive, proprietary.

        Its far too limiting IMO. Open MacOS and it would be quite a compelling option

            The hardware is rarely ever comparable. You show me a like for like hardware comparison, and Mac will always be more expensive with fewer upgrade paths.

              Alternatively, you can look at a price for price comparison and get some absolutely hilarious discrepancies. For instance, at the price of a full specs Mac pro, you can build a top end pc running dual 4090s. With some cash to spare.

              Well yeah, it’s probably more expensive, but hardware is not all you’re paying for though

                Which also goes to my oldness argument. Their software is locked, proprietary, and too ingrained Intl the System.

          What specifically do you mean when you say “Open MacOS”? Open to what? You can already install anything you want on it. It’s unix based, so your terminal works mostly the same as in Linux. You’ve even got a package manager (homebrew), so you won’t miss apt or whatever else you use. iOS is another discussion, but imho, OSX is “open” enough.

            Alterable Desktop Environments, alternative stores, removing integrated packages such as the app store, installable on non Apple hardware, whether arm or x86.

            Open air drop as a standard would help too

            IMO even windows is too closed for my taste.
