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.

    I actually haven’t tried it yet, my old mac was Intel I was considering which new machine to buy. The laptop hinge is sort of falling off, some issues with the screen and plus I want something new and shiny. I just heard Asahi kind of sucked and wouldn’t be supported in the future, I wonder if it’s true.

      Ah I see. Well it’s true that there’s some concern about how the compatibility story could work from M3 onward, but as I said, M1/M2 generation is pretty solid and you can get a great deal from the used market. I don’t know who was telling you it sucked. 😅
