gollark: ok person who misapplies already pointless generational labels
gollark: Oh yes, and Apple progressively removing APIs they don't like because vendor lock in is bad.
gollark: <@550187576049270798> Yes, `brew` which is unofficial and so runs on top of the existing system, which isn't ideal, and the app store which doesn't really count.
gollark: <@550187576049270798> Desktop Linux is usable. Linux distros are generally way more customizable, run better without £1000 hardware, actually have package managers, and don't have all the Apple app store stuff going on.
gollark: Also odd CPU choice.
