Whether you like to admit it or not, you too will use Linux.

 
Exactly, it used to be a philosophical thing, now it's just an
imperative.  There is no supported Winblows version that's worth crap,
now, 10 is too close to the end of support, it's an utter dead end. 11
has Copilot and is getting worse with every update.  You need Linux to
survive, as a desktop computer user, unless you can take Apple's ass
reaming.

I love the battery life and the keyboard on the Apple laptops, but I can
get the same kind of battery life if I buy a laptop with a Snapdragon
Elite processor on the PC side and a laptop keyboard made by
Steelseries. Using a PC, I'll at least have an option of whether I use
Windows or Linux, as well as the option to replace any of the laptop's
parts myself. With Apple, good luck on that last part.

Laptops are an enigma to me, yeah, I see why one would want it, to sit
on the couch with a real computer, but it's just undoable for me, I
can use my phone as a portable computer, but for real work I need my
desk and monitor/keyboard/etc.  So yeah, if I thought about getting a
laptop, the MacBook models are a nice option, having the non-Intel/AMD
stuff, but that's beginning to be available in PC models as well, so
as long as I could boot Linux, that'd be the choice.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
