Ah yeah I wasn’t very clear. Yeah, I most definitely meant that in the context of Apple laptops, Linux is meh (in terms of actual usability) and Windows doesn’t exist.
Though to be fair - you’re right in that Windows doesn’t exist to me anymore outside of that ecosystem either. My gaming PC has been running Linux full time since around 2020 - Kubuntu for a few months, then Gentoo for about 3 years, then OpenSuse Tumbleweed for the last 1.5 years. Laptop right now is NixOS, since I sold my M1 Macbook Air and am running a Thinkpad for not-at-home development work till I can get my hands on an M5 Pro MBP or something. I do prefer to have access to both Linux and MacOS for some reason.
I’ve actually been on and off Linux since Karmic Koala, but it took till about 2020 to realize gaming has gotten so good with Proton that I don’t need a Windows install at all.
