I love it

I honestly can't tell if you are making an ironic joke

Great album name

No just overall experience. Everything runs better on Windows really. Anonymous usage shit doesn't matter to me really. As for anything I need to do Windows just does it better, I don't run into weird driver issues or update problems that cause things to crash miserably or lock me out of my boot sector with obscure errors I have to spend forever troubleshooting through a rabbit hole of forum posts and obscure nonsense. All the software I would ever need to use works fine including all the obscure stuff I have to use for work that I otherwise spend forever troubleshooting in arch, Ubuntu, mint, etc. Using wine, proton, or etc. It just works. I could plug any USB device in on Windows and get a little pop-up that says "you dude your shits ready to roll" and it's good. I used Linux for 15 years or so on and off and I was vehemently pro Linux like you are but dude it really does suck. Only way it works is if someone develops a distro with exacting, specific hardware in mind and tests it for a good couple years then releases it for others to use with the exact same hardware. Cases like Chromebooks, steam decks, Enterprise mainframes and servers. Yeah, that's fine, someone is putting in the time and effort to build specifically for this things. As for everything else, if you want shit to work and get your day to day work done as a grown up, not a great situation unless you somehow hit some sweetspot of hardware config that will supported. Otherwise most of your computing time is gonna be spent getting your computer actually functional

Windows is pretty great though

Yeah, choosing between the two definitely isn't a black and white situation. I still use my pi's for a lot of things, and power is definitely a factor. Neatness is also a factor as well. Having a project where you need an SATA or m.2 drive especially as buying an enclosed case alone for that is gonna cost $40 at least and you have to give up a USB 3 port to do so. Again though not every project needs that and a lot of projects like a pihole or emulation box can function just fine with SD.

Yeah if someone is planning to stack I would definitely suggest they make sure they aren't buying the top venting models

Nobody that is computer hardware centric is going to take interest in buying an Apple computer though. So it will never end up in their hands to begin with

Same with the HP elite desks, and don't forget you can get off lease Chromebooks with much better specs than pi for ~$60 as well

Upgradable GPU

Apple stores and sells anything they can
