I always use Linux as my preferred OS and a "Just Works" OS like macOS or Windows.
I run Linux as a dual-boot and I run it in a VM from Windows/mac.
It's frustrating because Apple has fallen far behind on hardware I want. I need 3840x2160, a touchscreen, a card reader, both USB 3.0 and 3.1, 16GB of RAM, and full-size HDMI. They've jumped too far ahead into their 'revolutionary' view of the future. I can find better hardware for much cheaper. Dell XPS 13, HP Envy 2-in-1, Toshiba Radius 12... the build quality on the Toshiba is pretty bad, but it out-performs a would-be Macbook. I'm not spending 2 -fucking- thousand dollars for sub-standard hardware simply because I like the OS better than Windows. Apple spies on its users, but at least when you turn it off it's actually off.
I can't continue using Windows because it's clearly hostile to users, and I can't go with Apple because the hardware sucks.
Linux requires so much involvement to keep it running "well".
Just argh.
