I'm posting in the Linux thread because it's probably annoying to some to see 'but I moved to Linux' threads throughout this comment. But the original post is very sobering. I left OS X a few years back when the new laptop came out. Partly the whole USB-C thing I suppose, but I felt that there was pretty good hardware around and the new MBP didn't really shine (and was fiercely expensive). So I made the move to Ubuntu on some new Lenovo hardware (Carbon X1). I really look forward to the twice-yearly Ubuntu releases. More of the same, rarely any huge new surprises and just generally more polish. I upgraded to Ubuntu 19.10 immediately once the 19.10beta came out and it seems speedier. I'm sorry to see Mac users get so badly burnt but I'm very glad I made the decision to leave when I did.
