> I fully understand why people want to use Apple for their consuming needs. I really don't understand why my fellow developers choose to go with Apple as their work machine. I then frequently see they have to fire up VMs/containers to do work that I can do natively. No idea what's the upside for work (dev, coding-heavy).

Once we get a Linux laptop with great and fuss free hardware, then developers will continue buying Macbooks.

Great app support might be inconsequential for software development but not for quality of life. Programmers are people too.

If a programmer who happens to do music production or art as hobby for example, which do you think he would choose, a Macbook or a Linux laptop?
