What do you think you mean by "central navigation"?

HH's point is obvious and you're not bright enough to get it.

So? The MacBook product line was discontinued a ~decade ago (3/2015).

Actually, it is, they are both purveyors of motherboards. Micro
Center will be happy to work with Apple, but you can buy any PC
imaginable.

When I bought it has nothing to do with Apple partnering with the

I've not kept track of how Linux is progressing for Apple ARM, but prior
to that, the variety of Apple laptops that could run Linux was 100%.

Oh, so when did the story change to Macs being "overpriced"?

It was still overpriced even with the sale, but it was a good price
relative to the market price for a basic MacBook, at the time.

Well, we have an example of how Linux can completely flop at this, in
Larry from COLA's idiotic computer. He has no desktop environment at
all. Apple makes a decent stab at it, but fails, because they don't
hire programmers. Microsoft and Adobe do all the real work, and BSD.
Face it, you're talking to a jackass on the Internet but one who knows
what the fuck he's talking about.

I'm doing so because the Mac is the Delsym of computers. A pretty
good facsimile of a real PC but yet missing some basic, foundational,
natural existence. Dexers getting high on Delsym because it's what
they see at Walgreens and CVS, and make some ass-backward
rationalization for why they need that odd-duck product to trip on
DXM, is the same exact phenomenon as the weirdo buying a fuckin'
expensive Mac, because they suck Apple's dick so hard.

Give a specific example of how menus on Windows OR Linux are
"interconnected" in a way that macOS is not.

Navigating Apple's GUI, particularly the phone iteration of their
weirdness, just isn't like Win10 or 11, or the Cinnamon DE on Linux -

To be a "purveyor" of something is to indicate that you sell that thing
ON ITS OWN.
Apple doesn't sell motherboards. They sell computers.
Just like Maytag isn't a "purveyor of electric motors" just because
washing machines have an electric motor in them.
