That's a Linux desktop on his Air;

And I agree with him about the Macbook Air;

Sufficiently so that I bought one. Although I am hovering on the threshold
between between keeping it on MacOS for the automatic updates & having
someone else do the support and ditching MacOS for Linux because I
prefer it.

I don't have an attitude problem.  If you have a problem with my attitude,
                    that's your problem.
