Speak for yourself. Linux is a perfectly viable option for non-lazy people, who don't complain about everything. And Windows 10 is excellent too if you don't care about privacy. And it's Ubuntu not Ubuttnu.

>> a sneering fuck you directed at not just me, but everybody remotely like me.

You overpaid 8k for a machine so why should Apple care? You are clearly going to buy their next product.

>>But we're mostly all gonna buy the new shitty MacBook Hipster, or gut it out with our old ones

According to Netmarketshare stats at least 2% have abandoned OSX since May 2016.

See Linux people always say that, "it's coz your lazy", "Linux works great". I've tried pretty much every year for the last 10 years to get Linux working.

When I go into a brand new elementary installation to try it out, and I can't set the proxy, i shake my head and wonder how anybody can take this OS seriously.

Not even that the proxy setting didn't work, I actually couldn't set it in the GUI, it would just wipe my setting.

Yeah... linux is not perfectly viable, its a mess.

Non-lazy or should I say ok-to-deal-with-all-this-shit http://itvision.altervista.org/why.linux.is.not.ready.for.th...

oh. well, as long as that's been cleared up.

And that right there is the problem. Laziness is a good thing, it means the software is being more useful. And you should encourage complaints and fix the problem, which can only make things better for everyone.
