> Anyone who suggests doing this either hasn't done it before or has way too much time on their hands. I switched to Arch Linux in 2015 after about 10 years of Apple. Most of my dotfiles just continued working, so i could have been up and running for work within hours (basically make emacs, zsh and a browser run). But I decided to spent a weekend on configuring AwesomeWM, keyboard layouts and other handy stuff to really adapt the machine to me. I update the whole system about once a week and so far run into less problems than with homebrew. If you are not heavily reliant on proprietary GUI-tools, I don't see much problems in switching from OSX to Linux as long as you verify beforehand that your laptop is well supported.
