#4Got a Macbook Pro in 2016. As of today, the E, R, and T keys have all stopped working. Apple wants $500 for a logic board replacement.
It was fine when it was just the R key. Sort of. I set up bash scripts to copy-paste "r" to my clipboard, and just pressed command-V instead of "r". But then the T key went out.

#5Yuck... Why not try arch linux? Much better... imho. Antergos is a good user friendly distro that I highly recommend.
Why is it always windows vs apple..when linux -- esp for tech savvy folks/developers is so much better?

If you switch your OS, it can significantly effect your life for years. That makes it more noteworthy than switching your choice of sugar water.

#10What is there left to do on the desktop? Where recent Apple machines shine is fitting into a really good ecosystem. I can receive a text on my Mac, iPhone, iPad, or Watch. I can pull out my Mac and it instantly connects to the LTE on my iPad. It’s seamless and it works with no configuration. Windows is still not there yet.
