Apple products really *are* expensive, aren't they? I use Fedora Linux
and FreeBSD on my Lenovo laptops. They run well and are affordable.

Over a decade ago I did buy Apple iPad Air 2 and it has been good. I
still use it everyday just a little bit, but since it is so old, I
get no software updates. The Safari browser is so outdated that most
web sites no longer work with it. YouTube still works at least somehow!

From a hardware point of view, this iPad works perfectly so it is
a big shame that it is rotting from a software standpoint.
