Jonathan thought it'd be great to show Mac users the vibrant array of keyboard options available to them should they venture beyond the Apple Store, with the help of a LTT resident keyboard enthusiast.

Sad to see you being downvoted - this community is heartless.

Mac user here. Over a dozen mechanical keyboards. Keychron exists. I could go on.

Makes you wonder why it’s only Microsoft and Android fanboys dishing on Apple users and not the other way around. Sigh… must be another day ending in -y today.

Another Mac user here.

I can't seem to find the Apple logos on my custom designed 69-key ortho, or my hand-built macropad either.

I guess we could use the big-ass Apple logo stickers that came with our Apple computers 🤣

Reason that it's only Microsoft and Android fanboys dishing at apple and not the other way around is that apple has nothing to argue with. I'm past the point where you need to tell someone which product is better, but it will never end.

It’s more fundamental than that. We all chose our OS based on our use case. When I see someone mocking people for their choice of OS I see someone with issues who lacks the maturity and life experience to understand there are more than one use cases, resorting to primitive tribalism in a vain and transparent attempt to mask their hollowness. It doesn’t make me angry, it makes me sad.

As far as I am concerned, I don’t give a rat’s butt which OS y’all are using. I have used Windows (since 3.11!), Linux (Mandriva Linux was my primary OS for more than a decade during the 00s) and eventually macOS. Use whichever OS works best for your use case. I’ll never make fun of you just because your use case is different than mine. I’ve been there, done that, have the literal t-shirts to show for it.

Haha I catch your drift here.

I agree. I will never in my life purchase an apple product since they are nowhere near the same performance as windows is in my use case. But i can accept that other people but their products. They are easy to use and once you're in the apple ecosystem you will never get out.

You can definitely move back from Apple. My employee who’s only doing backend software development went from macOS to Linux a few years ago and he’s very happy and productive.

Yeah, I'm not talking work, I'm more talking day to day life. Watch, phone, tablet, pc, even TV. It's an ecosystem that catches you if you go down the road. Switching from a PC to Mac or vice versa is probably easy enough.

Eh, a lot of power users go the macOS route for a Unix operating system and greater software availability. It's disingenuous to suggest all Mac users are Apple evangelists.

Ah, sorry. I didn't realize what you meant. Windows 11 with WSL2 is definitely a great option. I think it causes issues with my company's defense software, though. It always gets blocked by the company policies as an executable.

Yep, Apple branded clothes, food, house, it's madness

Do they know there are options out there?

NintendogsWithGuns t1_iuib1az wrote on October 31, 2022 at 3:27 PM

Yes. Linus just like to perpetuate the “Apple fanboy” stereotype for clicks. Damn near every developer I know uses a MacBook Pro for work

JaggyJeff t1_iuipqtp wrote on October 31, 2022 at 5:06 PM

Well, I am a developer too and I know quite a few too. Almost none of those working with Macs use a custom mechanical keyboard or even an off-the-shelf one.

Not much need for it on a laptop, but I have a Q2 at the office for when I’m on external monitors. It’s also important to note that this hobby is pretty niche and a majority of mechanical keyboards are mass marketed toward gamers. You get Hermés or Herman-Miller in the keeb game and management with drop stacks though

JaggyJeff t1_iuj7ube wrote on October 31, 2022 at 7:05 PM

The fact that one uses/manipulates a tool several hours a day with a liking of technology and the mechanical keyboard remains niche? What is wrong?

I’ve been an Apple user since 1989 and have three mechanical keyboards…
