     @georgia the entire point is you trust Apple to do the whole package

     @georgia I have gone through this. If you want to customize then Apple is not for you as a customer

     @sun that is so fucking lame. Ill probably just let my partition with macos sit until I have time to actually learn what to do, or until a program like bleachbit works.

     @georgia probably like modern windows, as soon as they do an update it undoes everything

     @georgia silly answer: asahi linux or adelie linux, depending on the age of the mac

     @sun yeah I was thinking that too, if an update effects my linux partition then I'm putting linux on the whole disk

     @georgia I'm not exactly telling you what to do but you'll save time if you learn from my experience, and after 2-6 years giving up and just adapting to their ecosystem and you'll be happier even if you have to make big compromises. ultimately I switched from linux because the god damn monitor support fucking worked right

     @sun you underestimate how much I prefer control and privacy over time efficiency.

     @georgia linux being a pain in the ass on there is why I haven't seriously considered one

     @izzy they recently fixed the big caveat which is second monitor support. m2s are the best supported so theyre a few years behind.

     @georgia I was under the impression that there are some caveats that are pretty fundamental to the platform but I haven't seriously looked into it since around the M2 era

     @sun yeah but I think I'll manage. it just sucks how integrated the spyware is today. like I said, I hacked my shit to pieces when I was fifteen and nothing important broke.

     @sun @georgia i'm not sure what damage the uninstaller being proprietary does when the OS already is :blabcat:
