> Given MS being horribly anti-user these days, monetizing each user to be farmed like cattle and Apple's massive anti-consumer malicious compliance to any legal rulings, more people should be considering Linux.

Apple is the farthest thing from "anti-consumer".

Let's find one company that takes security in any way shape or form as seriously. Name one company that consistently picks up the phone. What device are we going to give to my dad, or my less than stellar relatives... (do you want to be their linux support line?).

The apple tax: what your family gives to apple because they aren't going to pay you for support.




So let's just ignore their "compliance" with third party app stores or their "compliance" for anyone's right to repair.


Most people don't care, they see what their friends have to put up with when running Windows and they decide to keep buying Apple products.
