Don’t get me wrong. I am very happy Apple exists. We need tools for people who aren’t smart enough to figure out Windows and Android. lol.

lol yes, thats what linux users say about windows users too
Well, having personally installed with my own hands perhaps a thousand Linux servers when I owned the data center, and currently running dozens of Linux servers in other people’s data centers (including the three that BBAD runs on), and having a new business that runs entirely on serverless Linux containers, I feel quite qualified to say that Linux on the desktop is torture and is totally inferior to the W10 experience. That said, being a bit of a purist, I’m experimenting with Chromebooks lately to dumb down my desktop experience even more.
give it a couple years and you will be using an iphone and a macbook lol
Possibly. I make fun of Apple but it’s been a long time since tech stopped being a religion to me. They’re all just tools and I’ll use whichever tool is best suited to my task.
ah there it is, i missed hearing wisdom from you;)
That’s what I love about Apple’s simplicity. No tools needed. It is the tool.
All it takes to dumb down the desktop experience for me is for Michele to post her conspiracy theories.

I’m using a Chromebook. Besides, I think she carries a wallet on a chain.
I bought a Chromebook about two months ago, just before Amazon stopped shipping here until the lockdown is over. Since then I’ve made some changes to my processes. I’ve tried to switch entirely to web apps. The biggest change for me was switching my development environment from VS Code to AWS Cloud9, but having undertaken that huge task to change, I can now code from literally anywhere I have a browser, including a Chromebook. Other changes include switching my SSH client to Chrome SSH and my image editing to Pixlr online (which I use to do the BBAD POM).
None of these are as “good” as the desktop alternatives but the freedom of moving from machine to machine with no change in setup is easily worth the tradeoffs to me right now. If I was doing intensive graphics work all day, I’d go back to Photoshop, and if I lived in SSH like I used to, I’d use a native client again, but I don’t do either of those things anymore and the web based alternatives are fine for me these days.
I plan to keep trying to live in a browser for a few more weeks and then make some decisions about my computing life. I’m am quite sure I won’t be able to move totally to Chromebooks but I do like them so far. They are amazingly simple tools, and the fact that there’s (almost) no data on the local machine means that if I lose it or it gets stolen, it doesn’t hurt.
Well I had to do some googling on that one. All I can say is I really like mine. Cheap, simple, hasn’t failed me yet.
