This meme is old enough to drink.
lol right! I think that’s Windows Vista’s logo too not Windows 7
Aww are you lost, honey?
It is time to update this meme.
First question is "do you disagree with right to repair?"
And second "do you disagree with the right to privacy?"
I don't think Windows user disagree with privacy per se. IMO, it's more that they believe the lie that privacy is a myth, despite the fact it was had in abundance hardly more than a decade ago.
MacOS is a great os, and it comes with solid hardware. If you use your laptop for anything except gaming, and you can pay premium, a mac is a really good choise. Also, it's a lot easier to develop apps for iphones from macs, and that's a thing that a lot of people do.

Given that's actually the only way to do it... (Without resorting to jumping through hoops via emulation)
I've switched my laptop from an XPS machine to an M1 Pro MBP, and it's genuinely been one of my best purchases. I can easily do my work for an entire day, and more often than not, I can spend like 3 nights in a row watching something in bed too. Not to mention that it doesn't run like a furnace, even under load
I used my 2010 MacBook Pro for about 10 years before I decided to buy a new one (no longer supported by Apple). It ran great too, for being 10 years old.
MacBooks are great. You can still run Linux on it if you still want to use the hardware.
Or you can try OpenCore Legacy Patcher.

Idk why people say “pay a premium”. MacBook Air is like $1000 bucks. Other laptops are also in this range.
Also, you’re never going to spend a second worrying about making the thing work or fixing an error. Even Windows requires fixing problems and installing drivers sometimes. I guess it depends on how you value your time. I’ve spent hours on linux and windows troubleshooting. I’ve never spent a second on macOS.
Not all people can afford a $1000 laptop, and in most countries, it's considered as a really big price
I might be an idiot, but I'm not going to use a Mac.
This meme also perpetuates the myth that to use Linux you must be an IT person. I just use it as a user.
This may be a hot take, but I don't think that on a linux specific meme community we should really care about what puts linux into a good light and what doesn't. I mean have you seen vegancirclejerk? We are here to laugh and that can be achived by self-deprecating humor or parodying what others think of our system of choice as well.
Yes. Sure. I see. Thanks. Maybe I was too focussed. Non IT people are nerdy too.
This meme is old enough to drink beer now - in the US
Lol ok
I am self aware enough to know that I am an idiot, but still use Linux and Windows.
Take that, flow chart!
Schrödinger life 😎
2024 version: Are you an idiot? Windows Do you swim in money? Mac No? Linux
I would switch MacOS and Microsoft. You really have to be an idiot to install that malware onto your computer voluntarily. MacOS is much safer and if you still have the need for shenanigans you have a Unix terminal to play with.
you have to be an idiot to pay that much for something that locked down and unserviceable.
Weird you're getting downvoted. I mean, they're not literally idiots, sure, but macOS and Windows are both terrible options. Seems to be a lot of Apple fanboys in the comments.
It's stable and works with most commercial software. I have homebrew that I use to install gcc and whatever else I need, and I have yet to experience an answer on a Linux forum not being directly applicable when I need to solve a problem. Best of both worlds if you ask me.
One does not simply install windows. It comes preinstalled
Pretty sure most homemade consumer computers are installing Windows. 70/30 tops.
(Maybe up to 50/50 if you don't count professionally built custom PCs)
the amount of mold…
needs more
I’ve used Mac OS since 1988, BSD/UNIX since 1990, Linux since 1993 and Windows since 1995.
Due to my expertise with all these operating systems, I make enough money to have a life.
I predominantly use Apple hardware, partly because I can easily run all these OSes on it.
The Intel "cheese grater" pros were a dream multi-boot machine. EFI, clean, capable of great RAM, nice drive bays, dual ethernet.
For accuracy, flip Windows and Mac in that diagram
Thank you, my twitch is now subsiding.
So wait... Since I use both linux and a mac I'm a no life idiot? Yep, checks out.
At least Mac is genuinely UNIX. 🙃
“… I know this!”
And she DID
I have a life and that’s why I use Linux because I don’t have 3h to wait for a single forced windows update
Programmers I’ve worked with all prefer MacBooks. And yes, you can run Linux on a Mac too.
You forgot your obligatory BtW i uSe ArCh, kiddo…
It should be: do you have a life? ---yes (none) ---- no (all 3)
Are you an idiot? --> No --> Yes, you are!

Linux users are just idiots who don't have a life
I use NixOS btw
