It’s hard to know for sure why people opt for Apple products… It could be any number of things.
Surely the idea of open or free is always going to play better than closed, locked down and proprietary…? idk
Pure speculation : the idea of open source sells. It’s more appealing than the alternative.
The Sipeed Lichee Pi 4A coming with Debian pre-installed, is arguably the first consumer RISC-V device.
Qualcomm has good reason to focus on RISC-V. I’m expecting them to bring out SoCs as soon as they can. And with the Nuvia team, they have the design prowess to produce some very performant silicon.
Perversely; I’m always less inclined to buy a product that I’ve seen advertised… “Why do they need to advertise it? It can’t be up to much.” And “Part of the ticket price has gone into advertising, so it’s not so valuable a thing.”, usually being my first thoughts.
I guess this is a fair indication then of how much Meta receives per person from advertisers…
How about, (counterclockwise)

I wouldn’t know : I never support them.
That’s genuinely shocking.
To quote a Linux tech writer:
"You literally cannot boot a raspberry pi zero, one, two, three or four without running ThreadX which is a Microsoft product.
“So whether the OS pings a repo or not is moot. The whole damn computer is run by a proprietary sealed Microsoft binary.”
Perhaps at that point the consumer will opt for the repairable options.
A sign that the smartphone has reached maturity, I guess. People don’t feel the imperative to upgrade any more. That’s good for the planet!
No open sourced RISC-V processor? Not interested.
And courting Micro$oft…??
He’s lost the plot
Is this technology open source?
I wasn’t suggesting it! There are other options.
The IPhone 3g turned me from a long-time Apple Fanboy to a Linux enthusiast over a decade ago. With no regrets.
The hardware isn’t the issue…
The problem comes when Apple decides not to upgrade the OS any more. Then, some time after that, the apps you like to use won’t work.
