  It's insane to me that the fastest Mac chip is almost a fifth faster than the fastest Intel chip for a fraction of the power budget.

    The moment AAA gaming becomes possible on macOS, the floodgates open and windows is dead

    Not going to happen, Linux already won, doesn’t look like it but you’ll see.
    Linux is actually exciting contrary to Apple as a company, their hardware, their prices and macOS in general.
    And I’m saying this as a Windows user too, I will NEVER buy a Mac but I’ve used Linux on and off for 30+ years.
    For the past 5-10 years Linux has been the only excitement I’ve had personally.

    Why will you never buy a Mac even if they are making the best hardware available? Money or ideology?

    Since it doesn't run the software I need, why would I buy it? Unthinking fanboi-ism or simple stupidity?
