serpro69 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Once more I find myself looking at MacBooks, simply because it seems like no one else is making good and reliable laptops for work anymore... And each time I look at a mac, I find myself cringing at the thought of having to abandon Linux and all (well... most ) that it entails, particularly: an open OS, free and open-source applications, no spyware that collects your data, etc etc etc (of course I won't miss occasional driver issues or similar things that sometimes work and then don't anymore for whatever reason... but tbh, Ubuntu and PopOS have been my daily drivers for a long time now, and I don't have much to complain about either way). Plus, I have an android phone, so not sure how good of friends Android and a Mac would be... I'm too used to just being able to e.g. plug my phone, and copy some files back and forth as needed. What I like about macs is first and foremost good and stable hardware. But last time I tried MacOS (around 2017) - I gave it up after two weeks So what I'd like to hear is opinions of someone who's been using Linux for awhile, and then transitioned to mac, and managed to stay on a mac. Anything to be aware of in terms of software, usability, etc etc? Things that you kind of take for granted in Linux world that are a pain in mac? Well, anyone who can share some opinions on switching to a mac is welcome to do so. Thanks!
