This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Because Windows is still the universial standard and MacOS requires purchasing new hardware

Which is a reason to switch.

A closed source OS, as universal as windows, shouldn't be legal.

Switch now!

Edit: I mean, switch to Linux. Obviously macOS is closed source and not an improvement.

I think you mean switch to Linux. Because macOS is one step even more closed than Windows.

At least you can install Windows on other systems.

You can install macOS on other systems too. It's garbage and Apple really don't want you to do it, but it's possible if you hate stability.

Not anymore, they no longer support AMD64 cpus

Also, people do not know what an OS is, let alone how to change it.

Most people understand that their OS is what comes preinstalled with their computer and thats it, they dont think about it and generally if asked would answer "of course its preinstalled"
