I made the switch after my Macbook Pro was stolen and I needed something quickly to get back to work. The transition from osx to ubuntu was pretty easy after changing my shortcuts to mimic the ones I was used to in osx. I've been using linux daily on my work machine for 7 months now, and i'm actually a little obsessed with it. I transitioned from Ubuntu to Arch and am using KDE as my desktop environment. Everything can be customized and it's great, I don't think i'll be returning to osx ever again.

I do miss the integration with my iphone though. I used the messages and notes app a lot in osx, so it's kinda annoying to not have that anymore.

Also, i'm using a Thinkpad. Would recommend.

*EDIT I now pretty much use the trackpoint 100% of the time, and don't miss the trackpad gestures at all.

kdeconnect integrates with android spectacularly. I'm on OpenSUSE, but my coworker uses it on Slackware.

Is it possible to use Android while protecting any semblance of your personal data?

[pnutjam]

Yeah, Android is as secure as you make it.

KDEConnect runs nicely on my Ubuntu Budgie install as well

Its a shame you dont have an Android, as KDE-Connect does pretty much what you are missing in terms of phone integration...

Not sure if I want to switch to Android.
