The reason MacOS is seen as a working computer is because if anything breaks about it, it isn't considered a computer anymore by Apple, it is considered e-waste.

I guess I don’t get this attitude about macs. I switched to mac when I was traveling a lot in 2007 and saw how portable they could be compared to other laptops. It’s almost 2025 and I just bought my third one last year. My kids are still using my 13 year old MBA for homework, and the hardware is absolutely solid.

Edit: Lol, downvote reality. My favorite pastime.

they dont like when you point out that as obnoxious as apple can be, they put out good products

They put out the best commodity hw on the market IMO. The rest is subjective, and everyone is entitled to their preferences.

Also no mention that macos actually flows from the last Berkeley release of BSD and still has significant interoperability/portability with other variants. Oh well.
