  • Like I said in my earlier examples…
    People who play videogames, people who use plugins with their DAW’s, people who purchased software before it became subscription-based.
    Literally anyone who wants to continue running mac software built before 2020 will be affected.

    I doubt anyone will become homeless over it, but that was never the argument being made.

    And I believe you when you say you won’t personally be affected by it, but that doesn’t mean nobody else in the world will want to run mac apps that are >7 years old.


  • I never said you couldn’t exist or voice your opinion.
    You said you found it strange that people are more accepting of windows so I provided a possible explanation for why. Simple as that.

    It’s ok to disagree. I don’t care what OS or software you use, that’s your choice to make.

    What I meant by apple only adding arm support in 2020 is that 2020 software isn’t that old, yet will soon stop working on the latest macOS because it was compiled before macOS supported arm.

    My bad for unintentionally changing ‘theoretical’ to ‘hypothetical’. The fact still stands that it’s not a theoretical or hypothetical issue, it’s happened multiple times in the past and will happen again soon.


  • That’s fine if you aren’t affected, but many people were and will be again soon.

    Games are a notable example of ‘timeless’ software that can still be relevant decades after release.
    And VST plugins for DAW’s.
    And programs you could buy outright without a subscription (eg adobe suite).

    Arm support in macOS has only been around since 2020, which is much more recent than 30 years ago.
    It’s not hypothetical either, apple publicly announced they will begin removing rosetta support with macOS 28.
    Whether or not that personally affects you does not determine how others feel about it.

    I wasn’t trying to be silly or petty, just providing a possible explanation for why people might prefer windows over macOS.
    You seem to have taken that personally for whatever reason.
