Just like @trueneu
mentioned below, M1 was the final straw. I've been hoping for many years that iOS SDKs would be ported to other operating systems so that we are not forced to buy a mac to build iOS apps, but that never happened. Then they started soldering computer parts, then the STUPID touch bar came, eliminating ESC key, then the keyboard sucked, then I heard iPhones no longer have replaceable parts, forcing you to service the phone with Apple and not 3rd party repair companies, and now here we are with M1 forcing the entire software development industry to port many apps to their architecture. I'm sorry but we're just not ready for ARM processors at this time, given that many, if not all servers use x86 processors right now. Apple doesn't care about developers unless they comply in developing only for Apple products; they continuously lock the ecosystem down, forcing you to buy new products if they show the slightest hint of malfunction, all while keeping prices outrageously high. I'm warning everyone: move away while you can.
My next laptop will be either a Lenovo Legion or a Dell, configured to run Ubuntu. What? Can't live without Adobe apps and that beautiful user interface? Dump it. You can easily replicate the interface nowadays with Ubuntu and there's great open source alternatives, we just need to give more support so that these projects can thrive.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
