    Lol, is this meme for real? Most mac users would never touch Linux. Like, yes, they are both based on Unix… But come on now, this is just intellectually dishonest.

    Most Mac users, in my experience, have no idea how to operate anything without an apple logo on it.

      Linux users are in the (well constructed) tent camp in the local park that Mac users ride their electric scooters past while desperately trying to avoid eye contact.

      I think it still works. The user you describe doesn’t care about Linux, they just don’t like windows. So they would not wash their hands

      A lot of software development in a corporate environment is using a Mac as the host. Not to say it’s the target build env. So id say some Mac users know Linux far better than you think. In my experience.

        Some, that’s the point

        Where i work, we all use macs. I’m the only developer and all others are designers.

        They all look at me very oddly, when i open a terminal on their Mac and change some settings from there. They check if my changes are working and still keep that look, like if I’ve done something strange to their mac lol

      Generally I agree, but specifically a little fact - the most qualified person at my work is a Mac user.

      My Mac is such a slow piece of shit on Mac OS that it’s nearly unusable without installing Linux.
