I’m in the same boat and use the same MBP.
The MBP is by default already booting into Debian and its so much better than macOS. Every time I go back, it’s a nightmare.
My best bet (after looking around a lot) is the newest Lenovo x1 Carbon.
- rhcom2 8y agoSame MBP here too. I recently replaced the hard drive with a SSD and I feel like it's going to last forever (meaning until the screen dies).
- vldx 8y agoDo you miss the macOS shortcuts? I’m in the same boat as you (early 2013) and starting to looking more and more to X1 Carbon. The emacs-like system wide shortcuts is what I’m afraid of missing mostly.
- preek 8y agohihi, funny that you would mention that you're afraid of the emacs-like shortcuts, because I gave this week a talk called "Play Emacs like an instrument"[1]. Honestly, under Linux, I'm using i3wm[2] as a Window Manager and Emacs (with evil-mode) for mostly everything else. Everything is accessible with shortcuts. I don't miss macOS for those and not for a whole lot of other things. The only thing I haven't found a better (that's subjective, of course) alternative, yet, is HDR photography editing. 1. http://200ok.ch/posts/2018-04-27_Play_Emacs_like_an_Instrument.html http://200ok.ch/posts/2018-04-27_Play_Emacs_like_an_Instrume...
