The crux today is the OS. It’s gotten to the point that I’d pay 300$ per computer per year for a paid Linux that makes... me... feel b... beautiful, I know it sounds very immature but macOS makes me feel like I have succeeded in life and can afford the right tool, and Linux makes me feel like I have a knock-off that I constantly need to debug.

I’m paying that price for IntelliJ so I don’t see why I couldn’t afford an OS for employees.

But $300 per year is more or less the prime for Apple products, but the drawback is their hardware loses features.



I would pay $300/year just for Linux that has working copy/paste, with consistent shortcuts and behavior across the system.
