It is odd. I can see people with older Macs with Intel silicon moving to Linux but I'd think Apple fans would stay with macOS. Is macOS becoming as enshitified as Windows?

No longer supported on old Intel Macs as far as I know.

Well, any normal Apple fan would have another $1500 to spend on a new system, every so often.-a Totally ridiculous to expect Apple to support
the OS on hardware that's not close enough to current!
(Which is a pretty fair criticism of Microsoft, as well, look at how
Win10 morphed from a minor upgrade to 8.1 into the preview of 11, and
how 11 has bulked beyond that.-a But Apple isn't really different,
because they deprecate older hardware, that people spent a small fortune
to buy from the pigs.)

It's best to try to sell old hardware before it gets too old. With Apple
the second hand value is quite ok based on what I've seen.
"Asahi Linux now officially supports Macs with an M3 series SoC!
Linux support for M3 series SoCs and the machines powered by them is now
in a state where almost everything supported on the M1 and M2 series machines just works. This includes the webcam, internal microphones, USB
(up to the hardware limit of USB 3 10 Gb/s), hardware accelerated video decoding including support for AV1, WiFi, Bluetooth, and much more! The
only major exceptions remain full DCP support and the GPU, which we will have more news on in the coming months. Do not expect performant or power-efficient 3D acceleration right now." <https://asahilinux.org/2026/09/m2-episode-1/>

It's not ready yet. Let's hope it is by the time Apple doesn't support
macOS on M1 anymore.

Yeah, heh, like it's a fuckin' car and shit.-a Just amazing these dupes paying Apple for anything.-a Their software isn't even all that.-a People with functional brains prefer Linux or Windows.-a Just astoundingly stupid.

I find it ironic that a guy who believes his boyfriend is a woman, who
is constantly high out of his mind, who is unskilled and unemployed is commenting on others not having a functional brain.

You're the exception, since you've for now chosen Apple, like Michael
and Alan, I respect true computer nerds who dig Macs, but it is funny
the prices they charge for the bullshit, when you can get something to
run Windows or Linux for peanuts.

Part of why is because the Windows computers also feel like they're
worth peanuts.

I should have been more explicit. Moving to Linux on unsupported Intel silicon Apple devices makes sense. I don't see the motivation for moving
to Linux for Apple silicon machines. The users paid a premium to but the
M* products presumably because they liked macOS. Why switch to a somewhat buggy Asahi?
Some people prefer a buggy Asahi Linux over macOS. Don't ask me why,
though :-D.
