Use Linux. And dont listen to zealts who say its not a viable option. Its actually way ahead than Windows or Macos
Right? People don't think about the years (decades in some cases) that they spent learning Windows in order for them to be as comfortable with it as they are.
For those people, learning Linux should not take very long and once you do you will realize that it is superior in literally every way.
Devils advocate. The m{1,4} chips are nice.
Depends what you do on your computer.
Macs are amazing and unique and, at the same time, extremely infuriating and very expensive.
It is a viable option, especially for old hardware. I mainly don't use it because I want to install an OS exactly once: When the computer is brand new. This is exactly when some shit is not working properly on Linux. But if you have old hardware, it will run no problems. Just install Ubuntu and Libre Office on it, pray that you get the printer set up, done.
"pray you get the printer set up" is more of a windows thing. For ten years, over three versions of windows, I couldn't get printing to work reliably. Switched to Linux, no problems since
Also, the new hardware thing is not really true anymore. Most things are supported from the get-go, or at least within a few weeks
I also never had a problem. Neither under windows nor under linux. The problem usually occurs within the printer. The more urgently you need to print a document, the more likely your printer is gonna jam. I suspect those things are so crappy in order to keep IT support companies afloat.
This really is some kind of law of the universe.
