It is time to update this meme.
First question is “do you disagree with right to repair?”
And second “do you disagree with the right to privacy?”
I don’t think Windows user disagree with privacy per se. IMO, it’s more that they believe the lie that privacy is a myth, despite the fact it was had in abundance hardly more than a decade ago.
So you’re that generous with windows users but Apple users are anti-right to repair?
That’s certainly a conclusion to jump to.
I don’t have anything to say about Apple users, because I don’t know anything about them. I do however have things to say about Windows users, having been one my entire life up until a few years ago.
Fair enough just seemed like a pretty major omission. Should’ve asked though, my bad
No! Always make assumptions! They make conversations faster!
WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME YOU LITTLE SHIT!?
If my experience in the heavy industry is any indicator, windows users believe that green crayons taste the best.
MacOS is a great os, and it comes with solid hardware. If you use your laptop for anything except gaming, and you can pay premium, a mac is a really good choise. Also, it’s a lot easier to develop apps for iphones from macs, and that’s a thing that a lot of people do.
I’ve switched my laptop from an XPS machine to an M1 Pro MBP, and it’s genuinely been one of my best purchases. I can easily do my work for an entire day, and more often than not, I can spend like 3 nights in a row watching something in bed too. Not to mention that it doesn’t run like a furnace, even under load
Also, it’s a lot easier to develop apps for iphones from macs, and that’s a thing that a lot of people do.
Given that’s actually the only way to do it… (Without resorting to jumping through hoops via emulation)
There is always a third really obscure way to do things
And that is why my code will never be multiplatform. No way I’m going to sink several thousand dollars for a machine I will never use except as part of my build pipeline.
several thousand dollars
You don’t need the latest and greatest to build smartphone apps.
Mac mini $500 and refurbs are cheaper.
I used my 2010 MacBook Pro for about 10 years before I decided to buy a new one (no longer supported by Apple). It ran great too, for being 10 years old.
MacBooks are great. You can still run Linux on it if you still want to use the hardware.
Or you can try OpenCore Legacy Patcher.
I’m waiting for Linux support to come to iPads. I have an older iPad I would love to see Linux on.
The m1 Mac mini when it launched for about a solid 18-24mo was the single best deal at the time (largely due to the insane GPU price hike admittedly but still very powerful objectively for the price). Very weird to say that but honestly it’s true. The minis are still very robust for the price.
Idk why people say “pay a premium”. MacBook Air is like $1000 bucks. Other laptops are also in this range.
Also, you’re never going to spend a second worrying about making the thing work or fixing an error. Even Windows requires fixing problems and installing drivers sometimes. I guess it depends on how you value your time. I’ve spent hours on linux and windows troubleshooting. I’ve never spent a second on macOS.
2024 version: Are you an idiot? Windows Do you swim in money? Mac No? Linux
I have a life and that’s why I use Linux because I don’t have 3h to wait for a single forced windows update
the amount of mold…
needs more
Wait I’m an idiot who has a life. Why am I on Linux?
I’m not sure there’s a way to answer that without being unnecessarily mean.
Just call me a penguin fucker and get it over with…
Well, it’s a life, I guess…
Team spirit
Stop bragging 😤
cus ur not in 2005 anymore so linux is a usable os for most people
You forgot your obligatory BtW i uSe ArCh, kiddo…
For accuracy, flip Windows and Mac in that diagram
Thank you, my twitch is now subsiding.
HAHAHHAA APPLE BAD SUCH LEMMINGS HAHAHA IT’S 2010 AND I’M SO BRAVE
LOL ONE BUTTON MOUSE
Got i hated those lol never bought one
So wait… Since I use both linux and a mac I’m a no life idiot? Yep, checks out.
But I can’t afford a Mac :(
Chromebook!
Buying a chromebook is like buying nearly expired milk because it’s cheaper as a lactose intolerant
Get a refurbished Mac mini
Buy more money.

With an Epson, HP, Lexmark or Brother printer?
I sense another meme coming on….
Just install it from AUR.
It should be: do you have a life? —yes (none) ---- no (all 3)
Are you an idiot? --> No --> Yes, you are!
Programmers I’ve worked with all prefer MacBooks. And yes, you can run Linux on a Mac too.
I am self aware enough to know that I am an idiot, but still use Linux and Windows.
Take that, flow chart!
Schrödinger life 😎
I might be an idiot, but I’m not going to use a Mac.
This meme also perpetuates the myth that to use Linux you must be an IT person. I just use it as a user.
This meme has the logos of the OSs from around 2007. Back then there weren’t many Linux non-IT users.
I miss those old logos, the new ultra flat ultra simple logos are just so uninteresting compared to that era
I actually prefer the newer ones, i always hated the like shiny 3d type of look. However some companies/designers/whatever do a bit to much nowadays.
or should i say to little🤔
Ah. True. Thanks. Yes dark times with hardware compatibility back then.
This meme is old enough to drink beer now - in the US
Lol ok
This may be a hot take, but I don’t think that on a linux specific meme community we should really care about what puts linux into a good light and what doesn’t. I mean have you seen vegancirclejerk? We are here to laugh and that can be achived by self-deprecating humor or parodying what others think of our system of choice as well.
Yes. Sure. I see. Thanks. Maybe I was too focussed. Non IT people are nerdy too.
