#even tho the whole setup is only ~2 years old at max (got my laptop ~1.5 years ago)

i just watched this video on iPhone vs android, and one of the questions that really got to me was 'if i was to switch, much would it ruin your life a little bit', and honestly, yeah, switching from apple to another ecosystem would just be a fucking nightmare
like the thing is, im someone who really enjoys the 'apple ecosystem'. yea big corpo bad etc etc but i just really enjoy using apple stuff, and how well it all fits together bring me joy in my day-to-day. hell, being able to copy something on my phone and paste on my laptop is so bloody useful, and that's just the tip of how well inter-connected it all is. i love using all of it - even how they make uis is something i like (i know people can hate it, but for me macOS is my favourite os ever)
if i had to switch, it'd cost me so, so, so much money, at least to do so entirely, and i could never, ever, do this again. as much as i enjoy this whole ecosystem stuff, i will never in my life lock myself down like this again, even to some goody-two-shoes that promises to make everything open-source or smth. because, despite everything, i do get the little gnawing at the back of my mind that lets me know just how screwed id be if apple dropped off the face of the earth tomorrow. id do whatever it took to never have it happen again
this is just a random ramble tbh. don't be like me, use linux
#lizabeth talkabeth#apple#ecosystem#tbh ive been very tempted to get a framework laptop and throw nixos (linux) on it#but i wouldn't really use it over my current setup much#and ive already been tempted to get a MacBook pro to replace my desktop/laptop setup#even tho the whole setup is only ~2 years old at max (got my laptop ~1.5 years ago)#it's just the idea of a single machine for everything that appeals to me#tbh the main reason id want a MacBook pro is the nice screen#but it honestly feels like im just wanting to buy expensive shit for the sake of it now#and i do actually like having a desktop#i don't think i'd enjoy an android tho thinking about it#have been tempted to get one as a 2nd phone for seeing what it's like and dev stuff#but just never have and i doubt id like it too much anyway#oh and i hate windows#fuck that shit i hope it burns#i hate having to use it for my gaming machine#valve release steamos 3 already im begging you#even then my razer shit wouldn't work properly since they dont care about linux :[
