3 years ago I needed a new computer and decided on an 16 inch M1 Macbook Pro, but did lots of overthinking about if I wanted to stick to it. I tried Asahi Linux didn’t have any reasons at the time to use linux over macOS (but there was always the chance I might later), the build quality is 2nd to none, none of my Windows laptops lasted more than a few years.
3 years later, I’ve really been itching to switch to Linux. Two of several reasons: because its DEs are more customizable, it has better documented accessibility APIs if you want to make keyboard navigation software. I reinstalled Asahi Linux and really tried to make it my daily driver, but the lacks of apps would require me to dual boot: Photoshop and Roblox.
I researching again for computers closest to Macbook Pros but none of them come close to its build quality. I think it would be best for me to make my own desktop PC for linux. I don’t think I’d fare well with another windows laptop brand.
Good luck when the ram or disk becomes defective 😂
Hush you 😅
My wife’s 2017-era MacBook Pro (with soldered SSD and RAM 🙄) has a mystery battery drain that’ll kill it within 12 hours, even on sleep mode. And I just installed a new battery in it… What an absolute pain in the ass - both the battery and the mystery sleep mode draw. Really loving Apple’s walled garden about now… /s
That hasn’t really happened with macs even up to several years old with those parts irreplaceable, by the time that would happen the device should be replaced.
Yes replaceable parts would be better but the ones on Macs do in fact last a very long time.
Survivor bias on a microsample. It absolutely does happen. It’s the nature of electronics. Not repairable == shit build quality, disposable garbage.
