I cant wait to fully abandon windows with my next tower (Already on Linux with my deck) but MacOS is FAR MORE cancer than M$, part of the issue with M$ is it keeps trying to be more and more like Apple
2 edits: I think someone replied to this and then blocked me (or someone I've blocked replied to me somehow) as apparently theres a response to this but I cant see it nor have I been notified

Damn, a lot of you apparently want a mega corp have complete control over what what your operating system looks like/does/what accessories you can buy for it if you think Apple is in anyway better than Microsoft. I thought the whole point of jumping to linux was freedom, you have LESS freedom with macs than with PC's
Apple has adverts in macos somehow, but I'm not sure what it means since I've never seen ads in there. Perhaps they're in app store or safari or something, but I don't use either, so I don't know.
Windows on the other hand pumps ads on you right at first boot on desktop. I'm sure it's possible to turn them off somehow, but I usually choose to turn them off by installing Linux.
I find I have plenty of freedom on a Mac
