minus-squaresnrkl@lemmus.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·9 days agoI hear you. My philosophy changed about 20years ago when Apple switched to Intel: Mac laptops are expensive, but I regularly get 4-6 years from them without too much drama if I simply max out the ram when I buy them. My thinking of my eventual move to Linux full time, a Framework or System76 machine costs similar to a Mac, and use the same Max ram philosophy. I just wish the build quality was just a bit better for the price, but I’m willing to trade a little for user serviceability…
minus-squareGhoelian@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·9 days agoMy problem with apple is that they’re a shitty anti-consumer company, so i won’t ever buy anything from them. (I also just really dislike macos. have to use it for work now and jesus it is awful)
