Anything involving Copilot makes me happy to be a Mac user.
If you have a machine that runs Windows and the hardware is still good, it’s time to give Linux a chance. Look into Proton for gaming (it’s a translation layer, like WINE I suppose). And let’s stop acting like Macs are the odd one out. Macs run UNIX. Windows is the odd one out! ;)
Proton is WINE, it's a fork maintained by Valve and Codeweaver with DXVK (Direct X -> Vulkan) on top. If you use Steam for gaming it will set up proton automatically for you.
And yes macOS is a step up from Windows, but it's still a walled garden. Want to develop an iOS app? You must buy a Mac, you must buy a developer license, you must use the worst IDE ever created, and you must distribute it through the app store (except in Europe in theory, but they worked hard to make the experience so miserable that almost no one bothers).
You can definitely rent a cloud Mac, or use a virtual machine to achieve all that. FUD.
Are you joking right now? Acting like you just won the argument??
This isn’t about « winning the argument » you incel, it’s about DISCUSSION
Settle down. You're on the verge of giving yourself skin failure.
You're calling people names. It's very obviously not "about DISCUSSION" for you right now. Those things are utterly incompatible. You're presently seeking emotional gratification through abuse. The bizarre choice of "incel" comes across as projection when you talk like that.
Your previous comment missed the point so widely and smugly, it also fails to engage in meaningful "DISCUSSION". It's okay to say something stupid, just try not to be a raging asshole about it.
You’re the one who spewed that hostile shit. Fuck right off.
