Apple is great for arty people who don't really want a computer.

That's just plain silly.
Why is that? You seem to embrace getting as far from the actual
computer details as you can get. You want a cartoon interface and a
support structure that walks you through the most mundane tasks.,

That's even sillier.

What "actual computer details" am I getting as far away as I can from?

I know what the major components are inside my iMac and my Macbook Air.
I don't have a reason to swap any of them out. They work just fine as an
integrated hardware system. I have no need to unsolder the components on
my computer motherboards and replace them with the stuff you find at
computer swap meets.

And, gosh, I've never even seen the motherboard on my server, which runs
under Linux.

And I have no idea what you mean by a "cartoon" interface. Do you? The
Mac OS is built on Unix. That's just more nonsense on your part, built,
probably, on ignorance. I have my "interface" set up the way I want.
It's easy to customize.

It's certainly true that Apple offers a far superior "support structure"
to the crappy support stucture that Microsoft and those hardware vendors
that run Windoze offer. It's nonsense to say that Apple's support
structure is somehow a negative.

I think your computer grapes are exceedingly...sour.
