Yes, but by running it in a VM, you have access to both of

I've been using Linux since 1997 or maybe 1995, I forget, but for me
it works fine. It's not perfect and in the past I have had some
issues along the way but in say the past 5 years Linux has been rock
solid for me. I have  friends and family members who use Apple
devices as well. Everything from engineering to finance to law
enforcement. And of course the same goes for Windows. Sadly I am the
only person amongst the above using Linux although others have
attempted to but it just didn't work out. One thing we all have in
common is that we researched the types of applications that we
needed to run and looked at the hardware platform as secondary. Apple users are certainly not stupid and neither are Windows or
Linux users. Pick your poison and if it doesn't work out, move on. Choice is a good thing.

My argument is simply with people who claim that "Apple is still for dummies".

 YouTube and TikTok are full of Apple using morons who do their best to lend credence to the claim.

So?  Is that somehow proof that there's not just as many (if not more) using Windows/Android/etc?  Likewise, is an absence of Linux YT/TikTok users supposed to be proof of them not being a moron...?  Or is it a data void because that OS doesn't support YT/TikTok?  Know your data.
Likewise, just what does a claim of using a PC in "Law Enforcement" supposed to convey in terms of relevance to the OS?  That it can support Apps which can send/receive email with photos?
