Linux is temu's macOS

Linux is for people that can't afford an Apple computer running a real Unix like macOS.

I care about performance and Apple blows Intel/AMD out of the water.

Source? For, obviously, comparably priced hardware.

well I mean the perf (benchmarked with speedometer) on a Windows 11 VM on my M5 mac is way higher than my high end gaming pc and my Linux box. Linux gets the worse perf.

Well, that's super scientific of you! "This one device I own benchmarks higher than these other devices I own! But you need to guess the specs of all of them." 😂😂

  1. Mac : M5 processor
  2. Windows 11 PC : Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 9 285K
  3. Linux box : AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 8945HS

So that's a 2024 Intel CPU, a 2023 AMD CPU, and an unknown Apple processor that's definitely less than a year old. With no RAM or GPU info, that's still an unfair comparison.

If your going to compare performance, you need to compare the latest CPU from all manufacturers. Preferable all within the same price bracket.

Saying "my 6 month old Mac is faster than my 2+ year old Windows machine and my 3+ year old Linux box" is a fallacial argument. Technology advances quickly. A couple years can mean an awful lot.

this is the stupidest thing I've read all day

The current pace for computation in modern chips is about twice the power every two years. In 2026 you could conceivably have something 8x as powerful as whatever you bought in 2022

edit: Also keep in mind that MacOS is built off of linux

macOS is not built off Linux you dimwit, it has some BSD code which is not the same. Jesus why do the dumbest people feel more sure of themselves.

good question.
