Yes, but keeping the old Apple hardware alive was not the point of the article. The point was to try to run MacOS on non Apple hardware.
That line was in reference to how long Apple would be supporting MacOS on Intel, which for the Hackintosh community, also means how long the can continue to build Macs with off the shelf prices.
These people don’t care about the Apple hardware. They like MacOS and want hardware that they can upgrade and tweak.
Well, it’s a quote from the article. And I’m commenting on the quote from the article. I’m sorry if you didn’t like my comment, but you could have skipped it instead of making it part of your day.
The word “Linux” isn’t even on the page. Did they call out a specific distro that I glazed over?
But regardless, the point of the article is about running an Apple OS on non-Apple hardware. Running a non-Apple OS on Apple hardware is literally the total opposite of the piece.
The article mentioned buying Apple Intel hardware now, even though it will be EOL in the eyes of Apple.
Expanding on that statement, I mention that Linux runs great on Intel Macs and that the hardware is just fine for future use. I even gave a real world example.
Show me you weren’t trying to be a dick, and discuss that.
I don’t understand how steering the conversation back to the article’s central topic is “being a dick.”
On Lemmy, people often read the comments before the article to get a sense of what is being discussed in the article. When I saw that comment, I was given the impression that the author was trying to breathe life back into old Apple hardware.
I thought it worthwhile to mention that the author was actually trying to unlock MacOS, not Apple’s old hardware. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It’s not your job to steer someone else’s comment.
And regarding people reading the article… I quoted from the article. So clearly I read it. Maybe if you had read the article first you would have recognized the quote.
Perhaps next time you have the urge grab the wheel, just don’t. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
I thought the community would find my comment moderately interesting / useful, and given the upvotes / downvotes in this thread, I don’t think I was too far off base.
Aww, are you offended for them? That’s really sweet.
We all have the right to comment, and reply, and reply. But if your reply is just to be an asshole, maybe your valuable time could be spent on something else—because it’s surely not going to impact my mood at all.
none of the adults you interacted with needed my defence, but I was interested in exploring how little was enough to set you off. You know, for science.
Although maybe just sitting down with the popcorn was enough given the obscene brawl you put on by yourself lol

I was just trying to have a discussion. I wasn’t trying to attack you.
So talk. My topic is running Linux (or whatever) on Macs, which was mentioned in the article.

Cool, but my quote was, so it’s relevant.

What can I say, I love attention? Thanks for giving it to me.
