Apple has always been a gated community, but now there’s a guard at the gate checking everything that goes in and out. This is something most users probably don’t want. It has me personally considering what a future without Apple would look like.
They’re not mutually exclusive. I have several macs and several linux machines. One of the linux machines (my router) even keeps the macs safe and (relatively) trustworthy.
It’s a good thing to do regardless. I also know way more than I want to about Windows, too, and could make do if given only that for a workweek.
Learn languages, learn OSes, learn architectures. Get more computers. :)
