Ehh, I'm not sure. In my experience, apple users are too tech illiterate to have any opinions on windows, not even incorrect ones.
I got haggled for being a macos user in college because, "pc was superior". Turns out, that the CompSci people that gave me shit about my Mac, didn't understand the difference between "PC" and "Windows'. My MacBook is still the best laptop I've ever owned. It literally survived having beer being pulled into it's fan, and it's battery turned into a balloon long ago... it still runs fine, almost a decade later (if I keep it plugged in). I was "tech illiterate" to people because I used a MacBook. But switching from windows to mac, got me comfortable with trying linux. It got me comfortable with being uncomfortable, because I was constantly trying to figure out how to "get this to work on macos"
I've met a lot of tech-illiterate people over the years... and they all gave me less shit about trying something different.
I don't use arch btw
Well, "tech illiterate" is relative. Some people may be ignorant of how their desktop works, but do wonderful things with PD or something else for synthesizing music, which requires knowing lots of math and music theory and signal processing.
Never be arrogant, please remember than people doing actual stuff - developers, business analysts, musicians, artists etc, and even lowly office workers sometimes, - are kinda more important than IT personnel. There are of course infrastructure and network admins who know their sh*t quite well and get paid accordingly.
My stepdad used iMac because he doesn't like Windows.
Yet everytime you open Twitter they act like they know what they're talking about and send clown emojis whenever someone responds with a counter argument
Haha yup it sucks
Linus Torvalds uses MacBooks.
