Why would you pay so much for mac OS and end up using free linux?


You would be paying for the hardware which is pretty good (as long as you can accept the downsides, most notably that it isn't upgradeable nor maintainable, and Apple charge an arm and a leg for memory/storage). It'd be like buying a laptop that came with Windows and installing a Linux distro on it. Why not? If you're more comfortable with it that with the base OS, even better that there's choice.


You are paying a pretty decent chunk of this for the mac OS too, because you can get similar spec Windows laptop for half the price


You can not get a similar Windows laptop for half the price. That is absolutely ridiculous. Show me a single Windows laptop that has a similar screen, keyboard, trackpad, build quality, processor, battery life and silence. I'm waiting.


the new Dell XPS is just one example, ticks all your boxes. If you think nothing compares to Mac you clearly haven't been paying attention to Windows laptops.


Battery life and silence are no way even close to what the MacBook has when performing the same tasks at the same performance


> Why would you pay so much for mac OS and end up using free linux?

Because Apples MacBook Pro with M-Series Pro and Max chips are arguably the best allrounder laptops on the market right now


They also start at 2400€ for 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, soldered, and over 3000€ with double RAM and storage. At that price point they better be good.


Bing is clearly a woman


What things do you know fella


Would be 18k if you don't pay any tax, which is probably very doable in India considering


I find this type of business very interesting, could I ask more details on how you begin and what you need to know to start this type of business?


Most American thing I read today. Wish my manager would talk about how to help me make more money and what to do to improve. Don't know about you but all my managers in EU just talk lame work stuff and actively avoid any pay related issues and improvement points.


worked both in US and EU, same.


That's good advice but will have to say that it is unfortunately out of your control. It has a lot to do with genetics than people want to admit.

I have health and mental conditions that interfere with my mental abilities and makes career progression difficult and it's all due to being born with those.

So yeah do eat healthy and exercise but also be realistic. Some people have it easy and take it for granted, other don't, such is life.


You are right, and I did not take into account genetic factors. The advice is for otherwise healthy people who don't have to worry about such things.

Please share the conditions you are experiencing. People struggle with many things, and knowing more would help me sympathize with more people.


Just disown him. How dare he not code. Shame to the family


prepare to give up 50% of your TC, good luck
