Would you still use Linux if there were subsidies for everyone to be able to afford a Mac?

Yep. I'd just use linux on the mac hardware.

I sure would. I'm a diehard convert but not the evangelical kind.

I tried OSX on a hackintosh for a decent amount of time and didn't like the user interface at all. My understanding is the hardware isn't anything to write home about either (other than the displays). If I'm wrong, then I'd consider running Linux on a macbook, but I'd never run OSX.

I would also run Linux on Mac, it's a better OS

>>51959267
your mistake is thinking that I would ever own a mac.
Price isn't the barrier here, the shit hardware and consumer hostile design is.
>>
Yes. If the Mac was better than my current PC I'd just run linux on the mac.

If I'm allowed to work off the conditions of the subsidy entirely by doing Garageband stuff, sure.

Just a minute ago - I needed catdoc/xls2csv utils. Guess what - it segfaults on OSX. And I run into such shit often.
Plus shitty and slow filesystem and lack of useful technologies like osx so your docker containers would run in virtualbox which is much slower.
