Apple isn't Sony. They make an arm and a leg on their hardware.
replyWhen they switched to x86, it didn't take long for them to release Boot Camp, so they could take Windows users' money, too.
They also make an arm and a leg on services, which is why its not in their interest to make it so you cant use them.
replyIt's not like users will just stop using the services. Rather Linux users will start considering MacBook as a potential laptop to buy.
replyHow could that possibly disrupt their Software/Services infra?
Of course they will. Why would you pay for icloud storage you cant use?
replyThat statement is true for the users that both bought and didn't buy a Macbook (with Linux support). The difference is, the one who bought has paid money for the Macbook.
replyI am not an Apple user. Do you _have_ to pay for iCloud if you buy the laptop? I don't think so.
People whom want Linux on Macs obviously already don't want to be put into Apple's ecosystem.
