What Stockholm Syndrome is this? Why should you have to do this in the first place?

Are you pretending that Apple doesn't spam you with endless advertisements?

They don't. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't use a Mac.

Well, they keep pushing the Creator Bundle when I open up the Numbers.app I bought bundled with the system. Perhaps they are implying creative bookkeeping?

I open settings on my iPhone (settings!) and it says "Don't Miss 3 Free Months of Arcade" and a misleading notification red circle icon.

Wouldn't know.

W11 Pro is awesome. I think currently it is the best OS.

Professional softwares, WSL2 and awesome native apps (Dopus, AHK2...)

I always try Linux but the fragmented nature just is not for me for desktop usage.

I agree. I'm running Windows 11 Arm on an Asus Zenbook A16 right now. Lighting fast. I'm typing this comment while I'm compiling code and having Claude analyze packets coming from Wireshark that's on this machine. It's got 18 cores and 48GB of integrated memory, great battery life, and an OLED screen for $1699

I run Linux in a VM and Docker on it, and WSL2. No problems with anything.

I don't see any ads. I turn a number of "intrusive" features off, but nothing is hacked; these are just settings you can switch off.

(I am running Pro, though.)
