I feel I'm coming up against #Apple and their tactic of forcing upgrades... my Mac now only unlocks using TouchID or my Watch about 40% of the time, forcing me to use my password like a heathen the rest of the time.

I won't go to #macos #Tahoe, glass sucks bad enough on my phone / tablet, I don't want it on my computer as well.

@Fishd ugh, know the feeling. I see you’re also into Linux. Do you see that as a viable way out of the Apple garden?

@mpblack Hoping so, though I'm struggling to find hardware that's even vaguely comparable to a MacBook. As a datapoint, I've been a Mac user for around 20 years.

I've an older Framework 13 at the moment and a GPD Win Max 2 which are both running linux... but they are ... somewhat unreliable. I think both devices are suffering from a lack of maturity in firmware, as they both have weird quirks that often require a shutdown and restart before devices become operational again. And the battery life is terribly disappointing by comparison.

@Fishd that sounds familiar: the tough thing about leaving Apple is that it all just works so well!
