| > Is there anything on OS X-only that you think you'd miss? I've paid for a lot of software that can't run on Linux, but I feel like I've gotten the value out of most of them. In theory everything I do either works in Linux natively or has a Linux equivalent. I just haven't tried any of it on modern hardware to know if it'll actually work. > Have you considered a Hackintosh? And what's keeping you off of Windows? Most of the reasons for switching to Linux are related to OS/security/privacy/automation tweaks that I haven't been able to make work (or work reliably) in Windows/OSX. I have all that stuff working in Linux today, but my hardware is too out of date to do the bulk of my work on. Honestly, I could probably spend some time in mastering powershell, and educating myself on the current state of Windows and maybe do everything I want, it's just not something I'm interested in doing. > Consuming media through the laptop is another sticking point. I had tons of bizarre issues with Chrome/Firefox and streaming video sites. It was just a mess. This has been my experience as well, but I'm also on 7 year old hardware. |
