WINDOWS is such a massive clusterfork that even chatgpt10 plugged into AI gigafarms can't make it efficient enough for ARM 😂😂😂😂


reversely that's what makes apple Mcpu shine: tight and deep integration with OS level..... new MACOS only expects one cpu, M.... gives many benefits

I'd wait a bit more before saying that WoA is dead etc. New chips are coming and things might get more interesting.

Also whatever Intel is cooking with NVIDIA GPUs is not going to be ready in the near future.

Yeah, I don't expect this to change anything WRT WoA. MS will just keep plugging away at it. Eventually it will probably grab a meaningful share. It would help if MS encouraged more companies than just making it a Qualcomm show.

Well that was because MS/OEMs were jealous of Apple without realizing the reason people buy Macs is to get away from Windows.
Depends on who is buying.

When I was in uni most of those I knew with macs had them because of specific software that is only on mac os, or because it was less likely to crash vs the Windows port.

In my company, more and more people are switching to Mac. This includes managers, people using their laptop as a terminal to the clusters/cloud, and people doing local development. This has nothing to do with Windows or specific software or bragging, it's just that the alternative machines we can choose from are just incredibly bad (Lenovo pro line), and Apple machines, despite their OS, just work, are fast and have great battery life. I certainly won't make this a generality, perhaps Lenovo is particularly bad, but I doubt Acer or ASUS or whatever x86 company people will name that do great x86 laptops is an option for large companies. So most of my team is slowly switching to Apple, waiting for their Lenovo laptops to get out of maintenance contract.

I guess if battery life is an issue then you have to go with some OEM builder no matter how slapshod or overpriced they are.

Thankfully I only ever suffered a few months working with a laptop (Chromebook), and ironically I do believe that it was in fact a Lenovo product.

That being said though it was tethered to the wall all day long, so battery life wasn't the issue at all - the teeny, tiny laptop screen was in fact the issue.

Anything smaller than a 40 inch display is a non starter for me these days.

I hope Framework with Pop_OS Cosmic will actually bring people to Linux.

Btw, there are some amazing free software to get rid of nearly all Windows spooky telemetry. An app from Germany called O&O ShutUp10++, and Windows SpyBlocker (Open Source).

is this a joke
I know :) It's still going to be a very small %, but I was thinking business/home users who don't want MS AI spyware, and Linux these days has all essential apps & more.
A lot of business software is cloud based web-apps these days. Should work on Linux.
