Curious what distro and DE you tried? What do you mean by bad for non-dev activities?

What do you do on a computer that’s non dev?

What activities and what's bad about it? This isn't a leading question from a linux jihadist - I was given a "work Mac", but all my other personal machines are various linux distros on various hardware; I see where the Mac shines and where I want to throw it out a window.

Have you tried gnome desktop? Its pretty good out of the box.

You mean running Asahi Linux right? Right?

just run ubuntu or popos on a thinkpad. I use this as my non-dev machine. what do you need besides a browser? worst case run a sandboxed windows vm on linux.

you are wrong

What "productivity" activities are there that are "non-dev"? Anything that a normie (non-dev) would ever want to do, I'm quite sure Linux can do it just as well as a MacBook, no? Except gaming, of course, but that sucks on a Mac as well.

Would never ever use an #Apple product and the last version of that #Microsoft OS that I had on a computer was #WinXP. Not looking back at all!

100% I’ve come to the same conclusion after 30+ years working with Macs.

I use macs but window managers like hyprland have gotten better than macos. Give Omarchy a try. Its not perfect but it is a quick setup and has a lot of good builtins.
