> I would love to hear more macOS users admit that their equipment was a status indicator, overpriced for what it is.
I would love something like my M1 Max MBP running macOS for less money. Since my first G4 PB, I have never thought of it as a status thing. I like the mac GUI with unix underpinnings. It's also popular enough that most common software runs w/o issue, and it has a lot great indie programs (though that market is sadly shrinking).
EDIT
At least in nerd circles while growing up, the high status thing to do was run linux on the desktop. /shrug
