      It&#x27;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.

          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.

            Linux sits at &lt;3% users or so.

              Not even Microsoft believes that. Where could you possibly find a misrepresentation like that?

              ~10% is a good guess. AI tools run much better on Ubuntu&#x2F;Fedora out of the box, and that is not exactly a secret either.
