>>58545347All threads like these ever did was foster discontent with linux and apple fanvboyism because of the difficulty in achieving visual consistency with a fragmented software ecosystem. Most posters are just in it for the (yous) and pride in owning something nice, and since ricing linux yields meager results for a lot of hard work, it's the least efficient choice. Linux is an OS for serious IT work first and foremost, and posing around in a cafe with a fashion accessory for a computer, the essence of a desktop or battlestation thread, is better served by Apple computer. Owning a mac is the end stage of every ricer. The number of macfags in attention whoring threads goes up nearly every month.
Threads about desktops, battlestations, and EDCs to some extent, are responsible for most of the apple sympathy and fanboyism on /g/, and this board would be better had none of them ever existed.
