Laptops. Apple laptops. I don’t know but that does not sync well with administering linux networks with for me, personally. God those things were horrible. I don’t ever write it out on my CV that I can work those things, I will actively state in interviews that I have zero X/iOS experience.
I was a Macintosh fanboy up to circa 2000, after that they changed everything and I can’t stand them anymore. I call them Apple, because Macintosh is a thing of the past.
The way that I see it is that they’re unix-like laptops that have decent support contracts. Given the choice of an Apple or Windows work laptop, I go with the former. Not because I like Apple (I don’t) but because it’s a unix-like OS which doesn’t require any extra tools to ssh into things plus, it is far more stable than Windows without things constantly breaking after update Tuesday.
I mean it when I say that I use it as a glorified ssh client. I do all of my work on a remote Linux VM via ssh. The reason that I decided to use Kitty in the first place was to make more use of the laptop hardware because it feels like a bit of a waste of their capabilities. The only other things outside of the terminal that I use with regularity are Chrome and Firefox.
