you mean the unix laptop on his desk?

>Using a macbook necessarily means you are running Mac OS.
Sure...

can you believe this man just lives his life buying computers he is interested in instead of being an autistic fanboy about brands?

>>59569494
who cares about that proprietary software shilling faggot?

>>59569494
He's using an XPS 13 now.

He's being sent shit to test all the time you retarded shit. Do you even know what it means to be famous on a certain market? I was running a shitty blog for music reviews and I was being sent new albums all the time, imagine him.

>>59569549
Source please.

>>59569494
Explain why he's using a laptop? Could it be because it's more portable than a desktop, more compact so less mess, and has a built in UPS in case of power outages?

I can recall at the time he explained that he was most definitely using a Linux OS on it. His excuse what that he liked the hardware over anything else at the time.

>>59569575
This is correct.

>>59569494
>Explain this /g/.

Saw a job opening recently for an offensive security position, they advertised that you get a free MacBook pro if hired. Pentesters, Linux security experts, use MBP. If I got one for free or very cheap, I'd use the shit out of it.

he gets paid by red hat to use fedora

>>59569494
He said many times he uses a Macbook Air with Fedora for coding.

MBA is nice and comfy.

>>59569575
Back in the day, macbooks had the same internal hardware as other high power laptops which combined with shit like a delicious trackpad, the magnetic charger and good build quality meant that anybody with money would just buy one and then use whatever OS they wanted on it.

These days, the macbook is a piece of netbook shit only morons buy

>>59569566
He actually uses/used a macbook air for his personal PC. Nothing is wrong with Mac hardware at all. Linus just preferred that laptop over others. Also he uses Fedora/Ubuntu. Not sure which he is on now.

Checkmate thinkpad arch /g/ users.

>>59569967
He uses Gnome on his desktop (didn't changed default wp and theme). He mentioned on G+ he don't care much about hardware, just be silent as possible, maybe this is why he bought air too.

Macbook with a Linux aboard is somewhat useful but still a gay.

Pretty good way to live life. Buy a PC that fits your needs instead of following some guide or autismo on /g/.
