I understand completely and I’m not arguing with you.

They wouldn’t save it from being thrown away if people like you weren’t buying them.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to say its bad, just that buying from consumer-friendly companies as new is still better, in my opinion.

Buying used is not as bad but still supports the resale value of consumer-hostile devices, which indirectly supports their new value.

They have their shortcomings but it’s all worth it to have pro-sumer hardware, in my opinion. I just can’t bear to give my money to consumer-hostile companies anymore.

Once again, that’s fine so long as you don’t need the things that don’t work.

That depends entirely on what you’re trying to do.

Let me give you 2 big reasons:

1. Linux does not work with the particular hardware or software you want or need to use.
2. It’s a PITA to just do basic stuff.
