@yogthos With Apple you'll probably have to buy a whole new computer from them
Apple is actually pretty nice with how MacOS gets installed. Macs themselves have a recovery thing if you want to reinstall. If I remember correctly it is hardcoded with a version that came out before the device was released, but can automatically detect and verify a newer installed version.
They get ya by tracking every last program you open, being hostile towards user choice, and charging you hundreds of dollars for $50 of storage.
Pop os implement rexocery partition too which u can use to reinstall all os
This is slightly different but that's only because Apple has the monopolistic advantage of they made the device.
Windows does this too where they just stop supporting older hardware. I find the worst part is that new versions of Windows/MacOS are largely just random bloat that nobody asked for.
@yogthos It's honestly reprehensible.
indeed
That's correct. Apple has near the same setting but it doesn't belong into this meme, which is more like m$ vs. Linux
