How are you trapped in the ecosystem?

A Mac Mini can run more software than any of their competitors (you can’t install macOS on a VM on a Windows or Linux host but the reverse is possible).

Even on the hardware side you are free to connect third party drives, monitors, keyboards, etc…



You can actually install Mac os in a VM on Linux or Windows. It's not a technical issue, it's that Apple tries to make it hard to do so.


Yeah, it’s a legal issue.

My point mostly was that if you buy a Mac Mini, you aren’t really trapped.


The kind of mental gymnastics people go through...


Maybe I misunderstood what you meant by ecosystem and trapped. Care to elaborate?
