If you were a Mac user in the 80s or 90s, you should be proud of yourself. However, if you are an Apple user in 2023, you should no longer feel the same way. When Mac switched to OSX, which is a BSD-based Unix, many developers were drawn to Apple, and I was one of them. Many years later, nowadays, I see more and more are coming back to Linux. Apple is not cool anymore.

@slashdot “And I'm going to Linux. To Raspbian in particular.” This is either a troll or the first signs of dementia.
