Hackintosh users are more than welcome to install Linux when the day comes. We will help you!

If these users wanted Microsoft sending them advertisements, they would already be using W11 Advertising Edition on their computers.

I recommissioned a 2012 Mac Mini and installed Ubuntu. It runs like a champ. I have a 2018 Mini that will get 2 years of security updates. If OCLP doesn't work, i'll switch it to Ubuntu as well.

They're also still sold (refurbished of course), so another 3 years of security updates will give people their $400 worth.

I used to do Hackintoshes for a while, simply because I tested practically everything that would run on x86, nearly 45 years now, including Digital Research's GEM and Windows 1.01, which were supposed to emulate or improve upon the original Macintosh.

The experience was underwhelming, I could never understand why people were so smitten by that UI.

Mostly it allowed me to see where many of the changes that were made in Windows and various Linux desktops came from, I can't think of any which was actually an improvement, the lastest fad, a centered start menu in Windows 11 is very odious, and always rectified via Open Shell.

Same with Gnome, a terrible UI through and through, but only with a Hackintosh did I realize what Gnome was aiming for.

And as a Unix, shell and developer machine, MacOS didn't convince, either, KDE on Linux is just so much better.

The only way I'd ever run Apple hardware again (after my Apple ][) would be via a native Linux at a reasonable price, both of which the Fruity Cult doesn't want to sell.

I would happily continue to ignore Apple if it wasn't for their pernicious influence on the rest of the industry, most importantly Microsoft. Where the Fruity Cult would always argue that they were in fact not selling a PC, a personal computer, but some type of "magic appliance", PCs were owner operated originally, DOS or Windows simply one of many potential operating systems.

The creepy and creeping takeover of PC sovereignty via Microsoft wouldn't have happened if Apple hadn't led with that cancer: it needs to stop, Microsoft: you're invading my personal computing space, where you were hired to do a job, not to direct my life!
