“Apple users” such as the IT professionals who live in their POSIX-compatible shell sessions on compact, powerful hardware that lasts all day on battery? OK, buddy.
i have never in my life seen some companies IT department use anything apple. also most stuff is remote connection anyway, so they can chill in their office and do their work.
I have no idea what kind of life experience you have, but take my word for it as a highly experienced software engineer when I say that MacBooks are a popular choice with professionals in my field and adjacent fields as well because of their high-quality construction, long-lasting battery life, and at its core a POSIX-compatible OS. Yes, the file manager is shitty and all the Apple walled-garden Store nonsense is all Tinker Toy hot garbage, but just install Homebrew and you’ve got yourself a decent package manager and you’re off to the races. Not all “Apple users” are the braindead consumerist zombies you imagine.
Second this. My current company (software) is apple-default and 95% of users stay with MacBook, including devs and IT. VSCode, iterm2 and a browser is where you spend most of your time. With rectangle even the window manager is decent.
If you really want you can get a Linux box, but the headaches with Okta and other corporate systems are not worth it. Plus that battery life…
Gotta pick a new OS for the workstations.
ipadThis is what corporate board members actually say, though.
to be fair, i wouldn’t expect apple users to know the difference between MacOS and IOS (or whatever runs on ipads)
IIRC it’s iPadOS which is closely related to iOS. They used to be one and the same.
iPadOS is a descandent of iOS is a descandent of macOS which is unix-like alongside linux
but then there’s windows which is a bitch (“beach” for .ml users) and is nowhere similar
