Say a friend is looking for a new system, and said person is not particularly savvy with technology, what system would you point them toward?

    Idk if I’d even recommend anything anymore. Microsoft shit is easier but more likely to just nuke itself or destroy your data. MacOS is stable and user friendly but prohibitively expensive. Linux is generally great, but requires a level of teach savvy that most people are actively afraid of. I’m so tired.

      i wouldn’t even say mac hardware is prohibitively expensive these days given how damn long it lasts

      i can count on 1 hand the number of laptops i’ve used as my primary device for > 2 years and they’re all macs… current is going on 5 years and is only now looking like i might need a spec bump in the next 2
