And yet here you are, desperately trying to do so. And failing, because you simply come across as a mindless zealot with nothing better to do than convince himself he's right.

Decades of personal experience in trying out countless OS’ and platforms all that promise the moon and deliver the garden hedge, and (literally) thousands of hours of listening to gushing zealots on both sides, and then settling on some level-headed 40-50 year old industry experts (TWiT.tv) who don’t continually spout knee-jerk guff, but whom have consistently adhered to their views in all the years I’ve listened to them (I don’t agree with all, I’m no idiot, but my bullshit detector had yet to go off in 9 years of podcasts)

^ Google them. They know a lot more than ALL OF US, being seasoned and industry renowned and respected.

… a whole slew more, many respected Apple & other tech journalists of MANY DECADES experience. Add that to my personal experience with Linux, windows, macOS, whatever, and their views just ADD UP, they don’t sit on YouTube spouting excited bollocks about the latest tech fad wave.

Why do I care what anyone uses? But I’m doing this thing called EXPRESSING MYSELF - it’s kinda what humans do - and I have firm views (which fluctuate sometimes - I’m not a stick in the mud)

I don’t concern myself with what you use or like or what colour socks you wear, but sure as the sun will rise, macOS and iOS are the pinnacle of doing platforms RIGHT, hence all the “debate” they stir up. People can’t STAND to see the success and rise of a platform or product which they feel threatened by, so will throw any old pathetic nonsense around to attempt to “convince” others it’s “rubbish”.

Linux ain’t “rubbish”, but my point is that has HUGELY lost its way (if it ever even had one) - okay it’s used - a lot - but it’s not the same success as windows and macOS, because it’s the pathetic, simpering  “underdog” mentality of the autistic zealot assholes that keep it there.

Also, Steve Gibson of GRC, someone I consider a personal friend, uses iPhone for its fluidity and refined sense of security and honouring the privacy rights of the owner. Ain’t no one nowhere more clued up and respected , by those what know, in security and honesty than Steve.

If you don’t know any of these people, I can highly recommend them as a source of great wisdom and balance.


PS: I’m not into “convincing”,  but on this occasion then yes, I’m most certainly right. You can disagree without being rude or acting like a baby - try it.


I’d take a walk across the internet and learn about a subject before belittling people who actually DO have experience. Yeah sure, I’m sure you have experience too, but only a fragile ego needs to one-up and belittle.

I passionate and forceful in my views, admittedly, but then so are 97% of the others on here - and there are some EXTREMELY insecure, nasty, self-important chumpstick goons on here. I hope I’m quite pleasant - but I don’t suffer from an inferiority complex, but also know I’m prone to being wrong too - don’t worry - we all are.

All you ever express is your disdain for other peoples opinions, choices, and tastes, and your lack of understanding of the motivations and goals of others.

But you already told us we can't disagree. You already told us our opinions and experiences are entirely irrelevant. You want rude? Look in a mirror.
