I also moved away from Mac as main personal driver like the article writer but I moved to FreeBSD which has less corporate influence. However the shadow side is much less hardware support. For me that worked out fine but it won't be for everyone. One of the things I love is not being stuck with one company's choices anymore. I can decide when I want to install updates, not beg Microsoft not to reboot my computer. I can decide how I want the UI to function instead of Apple forcing their way on me. I'm not having to work around a bunch of tie-ins to cloud services which both MS and Apple do heavily. I don't have to go out of my way to block telemetry. My computer doesn't check if every app is approved by its vendor (Mac notarisation). I don't have my own computer spying on me. It's a bit more work but it really makes me feel like my computer is my computer again. It's so worth it.
