It is CRITICAL TO EVERYONE that we be able to compile Hurd from scratch

Not to be flip, but you can do that on a Macbook Pro as well if you have the skills and know how.

I know, I just chose an esoteric hacker-y thing for maximum hyperbole.

But really, the vast, vast, vast, vast majority of people could not possibly care less about what people complain about in regards to the Mac on here. Is the hardware pretty and performant? That’s what they care about. Nobody gives a damn about running Linux on a MacBook Air.

Yeah, those people would be better off giving money to Linux OEMs so that they would create LinuxBooks of comparable quality, instead they give money to Apple.

I hear you. Completely agree. I always thought the complaints were a bit narrower in scope than most people on HN seemed to believe.

No question - HN complains and is outraged at things people like!

Those complaints aren't for users but for makers. Apple doesn't make devices for makers.
