My 2013 MacBook Pro is running Linux and kicking ass. So, although they dropped os upgrades after 7 years, I think it says a lot about their desktops. The same cannot be said with their iOS devices, as I have an iPod Touch V1 that could be put to good use if only I could run Ubuntu touch.
Literally any PC made in the last decade will run Linux like a champ. It has nothing to do with it being made by Apple
That is specifically not true of Apple. They don’t make drivers for Linux, and often change components which means there are several Apple devices that are really hard to run Linux on. The touchbar MacBooks are a nightmare for Linux, and the ARM Macs are slowly getting support, but it is sub par last I looked.
I’m referring to the quality of their hardware
Hardware is the same across the board. PC’s have equally good hardware… Literally only the aluminium body is still unique to apple but the internal components are the same as any other OEM.
I work in IT, so I’ve seen alot of hardware from many OEMs including Apple.
I’ve had 15+ year old PCs running XP on the same box and still being used daily to run a CNC machine… They can’t be replaced because the software was never updated by the developer to run on anything else. But the hardware is rock solid.
