I’m not looking to immediately move from the walled garden of Apple. I’m heavily bought in with an iPad, AirPods Max, MacBook… and I’m not looking to plunk down that much money.
However, I have a planned depreciation cycle for all of my devices. During the next cycles over the next 2-5 years, I’m going to assess moving entirely to open-source (Linux laptop, reMarkable tablet, Kobo…).
Right now, my main blockers to go full open source are a lack of time and patience. Given I’m planning to head from a start-up into a doctoral program, I’m guessing I’ll be able to have a little more space to experiment. As well, the market within a two-year span horizon should be good enough to improve the smart phone market.
TL;DR: This isn’t enough to get me to sell all of my Apple gear, but it is enough for me to restart assessing alternate devices and potentially replace devices as they naturally wear out.
