People are now buying the Apple MacBook Neo ($599 cost) not because it's as cheap as a PC, but because they are fed up with Win11 and its obsession with Copilot. This proves once again that if you push people too far, they will choose an alternative that isn't obsessed with AI or treating paying customers as idiots in paid OS. It is like choosing between two evils. I say go further and *BSD or Linux desktop if you can and it helps you. https://www.pcmag.com/news/asus-co-ceo-macbook-neo-is-a-shock-to-the-pc-industry

Apple have an advertising budget to reach out to Fed up windows users, they use their marketing to make a difference. The free software community for all its numbers seems hopeless at this, we have had numerous windows of opportunity that just get squandered.

The Apple commumity is united, support is there, community support is there, The free and open source software community need to be the same.
