I got a fast external SSD and put Antegeros (Arch) onto it.
I then used it as my daily driver, dropping back to Mac if I needed something.
I haven't had to use MacOS for a couple of months for anything. Basically have a useless SSD sitting inside my mac now :)
Added benefit is I can plug the SSD straight into my PC at home and have my full work environment up and running. No driver stuff-around either, it all works perfectly.
I would honestly recommend arch/antegeros. Ubuntu and others are over-hyped for their "ease of use".
- karmajunkie 8y agojust out of curiosity, what kind of external SSD did you get, and what kind of hardware interface (i.e. usb-c, thunderbolt, etc?)
- Sholmesy 8y agoSamsung Portable T5. USB-C and USB-A ports no USB 3.0 protocol. It's a "fast" SSD, but it doesn't come close to saturating USB 3.0, and is basically equivalent to an internal (not PCIe/NVMe) SATA based SSD. If you wanted to future-proof, you could get a thunderbolt 3 enclosure. Also, fits super comfortably in my pocket (smaller than a phone).
