I have no idea what linuxplatform is smoking, but when I go for a coffee almost anywhere here in Prague, I can usually see even one or two PC laptops along all the iPads and MacBooks. I can see a guy playing some game on his whatever branded Android phone in public transport, all around the others holding their iPhones. Or when I get the express city train and heading thru wagons to the dining car.. I can see some new PC laptops too, but all the types and generations of MacBooks prevailing. Hmmm, this MacBook Pro guy is running Cinema 4D on Windows.. is that native boot or?.... Oh, app switcher and there goes Safari with familiar ambient
Here I'm talking about relatively poor country in comparison to the west !
What makes PC sales (and usage) so high, are the employees of big corporations. But they are also the people at home - and that's it.

Linuxplatform guy is repeatedly highlighting the expensiveness of the Mac. I would say otherwise! For me, the Mac is less expensive, than almost any PC, due to it's top value preservation. Let me example.. I'm forced to use companys windows PC at work. My wife in another company too. Both companies are buying tons of new laptops all the time.. Lenovo, Dell, whatever. They break alot and maintaining them is not cost efficient for long. Here are the sales! One year old PC notebook (unless some gaming laptops) sells for near nothing. It goes to the landfill with primitive failures.
I bought my MacBook Air early 2014 second hand almost 6 years ago for some 800 USD. I can sell it today for 400 USD easily, but why should I? I'm astounded that my original battery still let me do basic stuff and browsing on wifi for 7+ hours after these years, the display lid doesn't creak and hold still.. and my Mac supports actual macOS Catalina.

I should avoid talking in percents. Mac market is huge.. and with Apple Silicon comming, I believe it will grow on steroids! It's time for an upgrade and I'm going to be an early adopter of AS based Mac notebook. My next expensive, value retaining, Earth friendly computer.

120Hz ProMotion display, and 25GHz BrainCooker Pro.. watch your blood cells forming amazing fractals!

I’m neither fan of anything Microsoft, but must admit their Mac OS apps were always one of the better class of programming. I see no stepping up on support here.
