I'm as deep in the ecosystem as you can be. I have multiple everything: phone, iPad, Watch, TV, HomePod, many Macs (I'm an Apple developer, it's all business-related!). Subscribe to Apple One Premier for the family. Apple Pay, Apple Card, etc., etc... I'll be first in line for Vision Pro next year.
Basically, if there's an Apple version of something, I will use it over the competition, regardless of any other consideration.
I've been a tech nerd for 40+ years, and honestly, I love it. I built my own PCs for years. I can program assembly language if need be. I've got a Linux box in the closet acting as my home server. It used to do a lot of the internet router stuff, but I moved that to an Airport Extreme many years ago.
I just don't want to mess around with that stuff anymore. For the most part, "it just works" is true. Yes, there are bugs and glitches and frustrating limitations, but show me a hardware/software system that doesn't have them.
Bonus points if that Linux box on your cupboard in intel Mac mini- I’ve been using them instead of raspberry pis and they’re amazing
Sadly, it's just an ancient tower PC that I put together to be a NAS before Synology existed.
