This sounds like an Apple fanboy comment, tbh. Most people are used to windows and if they want an alternative, they'll reach for Linux. MacOS is more of a con rather than a pro since you're effectively locked in with no chance of switching.

This sounds like a comment from someone who thinks of Apple hate as a personality trait.

There's no lock-in in MacOS, which is easily demonstrated on any front you like. Of course, if you actually investigate such claims before making them, it'll put you in the awkward position of having to decide if you'd rather be ignorantly disingenuous our outright dishonest, so it's a tough spot for you.

That sounds more like a lack of perspective. Most people are actually locked in to Windows on non-apple computers due to a lack of knowledge (or motivation to change up their workflow), and even more people are locked in to mobile operating systems for the same reason.

Also, Asahi is a very polished distro with a lot of original work going into it, arguably one of the best Linux experiences around, so I have no idea what you mean by "no chance of switching".

Asahi doesn't even support all the hardware on the few machines it supports. The only people who consider it "polished" are people who don't use Linux.

The hardware bring up they have done is amazing work, but it's a long way from daily driving. It's not the developers' fault apple uses bizarre webcams etc, but "best Linux experience" is not even close.

On mac you are locked in whether you lack knowledge or have it.

This is just not true.

You are no more and no less locked into MacOS than you are under Windows or under Linux.

I'm not sympathetic to them, but there definitely ARE substantive arguments a FOSS devotee could make about MacOS that make sense, or which are at least grounded in fact. This is not one of them.
