Real question. I would like to know what drives you to hate Apple? (In terms of privacy of course because in terms of price it’s another story).

Conversely I have a dell xps from 2018 that run very well with fedora atomic (kde). I upgraded the SSD, WiFi card and replaced the battery. Should easily last me another 5 years

User repairability and serviceability should be(come) mandatory!

It's Intel, you too can have fedora atomic, and it'll likely last another 5 years.

If it would be my device and not a gift I would, yeah :)

Ahh, not so sure how great a gift an insecure computer is, but I imagine you have your reasons...

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.de 1 points 2 months ago

Uhm how would be it insecure?

OS hasn't been updated for how many years?

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.de 1 points 2 months ago
  1. But the giftee can also update to Sonoma.

My bad, I didn't read 'built a macOS 13 installer', but now they must return for 'built a macOS 14 installer'.

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.de 2 points 2 months ago

For some strange reason the control panel shows the update to macOS 14 even though when it was still on macOS 12 it didn't show any updates.

I told the giftee if they want to update that they please make a backup first.
