I used to really like mac computers but they’re obviously becoming more locked down over the years. Is it even worth it to buy them? On my old computer, I used the OS until it didn’t update anymore and then I flashed Linux. This is how I extend the life of my computer! Should I just buy from System 76 next time I buy a computer? :( That’s what I’m planning to do.

    oh, well in that case the framework desktop might be in line with what your looking for. it’s like 1 liter in volume so not very big and it runs a pretty powerful processor with very fast ram and a very similar layout to how macs tend to be set up. it is expensive but not too much more than a mac.

          I am trying to find something that’s basically a mac mini but better… I’m willing to pay more for something that lasts a really long time. I’ve noticed most of these recommended machines are reparable.

            that’s basically what the fw desktop is meant to be. idk how good it is at it but the pricing tends to be 2-5k depending on your options, so similar to a mac mini.

              I got my wife into Linux after I put Mint on her old Lenovo, and she did some research, also told me Framework was a good brand. :) I got her away from Windows, recruiting everyone I know
