Just take a look at the comments in this thread haha

Linus has made a video about this recently trying to build an equivalent machine. There’s really nothing like the base Mac Mini for its price, but that stops being true as soon as you make any upgrades.

The whole sales of Macs is a small portion of Apple’s earnings, but I think it’s still a lot in gross numbers.

I think it’s the sort of thing to keep a hold in case the market shifts and Apple needs to change strategies, like they’ve been doing in raising the percentage coming from services compared to iPhone sales. They’re monetizing the “ecosystem” more than ever.

Or some people like me prefer ergonomic keyboards and don’t use these miniature overpriced Apple keyboards.

Cancel or allow??

In case people didn’t know what company he was referring to. /s

What’s the experience so far?

I see it more of a limitation, you don’t want your laptop to warm (and it shouldn’t in light use), but you want to cool it for the few times it does.

I think UEFI was something that took a while to be standardized and mostly because of Intel’s influence over it, while ARM seems more diverse both in manufacturers and types of devices. When things are decentralized it becomes much more difficult to get everyone on board of something.

I wonder what percentage of desktop users still use Ubuntu nowadays. Seems like there’s no way to have a clear picture, besides DistroWatch which is more like “interest” and not actual usage?

There’s also the issue of testing all the packages. They have to make sure all the versions frozen in the repository will work smoothly together.

I’m actually surprised this wasn’t the case before.

Oh I got it. I’m still stuck in the time when tweets had 140 characters, so I didn’t think there was more text 😆

Wasn’t that already there case? What’s changing?
