Yeah personally, I use Mac for the peace of mind, because generally, I don’t trust package managers anymore. Don’t get me wrong, Debians repository is extremely well maintained, and I use Debian as server OS, but I like the Mac as a daily driver for banking stuff, because I trust the Mac App Store (people have to pay, Apple checks every App and so on). And for the daily stuff I do with my Mac, I don’t need any special software from Homebrew.

The main problem with your argument is that this is not an e.g. racist insult, but a glorification. People are using faggot for themselves to fight the negativity of the word, but by using the word race, you will always recreate racism.
And while we’re on the subject of Nazi words, we can also adopt other terms: how about „Windows concentration camps“? (It’s funny, Isn’t it?)
Because?
“Master Race” will still be referring to this kind of “We are over everything, because our race is over everything” narrative.
