Former apple user here. I got out of the ecosystem around 2016 or so because I couldn't stand the no-travel keyboards Apple was pushing. Can anyone give me a rundown on what Apple products are like these days? I do think I picked the right time to get out because they're not only making shitty keyboards but also removing ports and jacking up prices. However I still think that the 2-in-1 laptop product category is a mistake and that tablets and laptops should have different OSes.

I ditched my 2011 MacBook Pro 13 inch for a Core i5 ThinkPad X230 with Ubuntu a few years ago. I've upgraded to a 500GB SSD and 16GB RAM and this thing is still kicks ass. It's just that any my Ryzen desktop at home. I don't really need anything else.

I never did get into Apple's creative software. I've heard some people say that Final Cut is good. Is it? I use Premiere Pro and I honestly have a hard time even imagining better video editing software in terms of features.

I don't do video editing but if I did I would just keep a dedicated Winshit machine around since there's better software available, and it's easier to pirate it all. What I really expected from Mac OS was a rock solid Unix system with a nice GUI, and it fulfilled neither of those expectations. I found that the desktop environment is backwards dogshit for queers that did nothing but frustrate me and all of the *nix tools were inferior, outdated, garbage and getting new ones required a buggy third party package manager.
Basically it taught me that I should use Linux with KDE, and if there's ever software I need that's Windows only and doesn't run in WINE, I'll just have to use Windows. There's no middle ground with that. Luckily I'm not tied to any Windows-specific software so Linux is the right fit for me.

Just go to any electronics store and see for yourself how shitty their new products are.

Not sure... Still running my 6S. Just put in a new battery and screen yesterday. Good for another 3 years.

The newest Macs have a display connector fault that will cause then to kill their CPUs at the first malfunction

Macshit Poo was never based.
