This is completely insane. I am so glad I decided years ago to leave closed operating systems behind.

This design seems to cement the trend at Apple to position their products as consumer appliances, not platforms useful for development.

Buy a Mac and put ElementaryOS on it to avoid the slowdown and have a slick experience.

Might want to make it a used/refurbished Mac. Newer Macs don't run Linux well (at least as of yet); the whole T2-chip based stuff on newer machines is especially problematic.
