Yes - I am actually contemplating a return to Linux. I can't pinpoint exactly what's wrong, but things that used to feel instant now feel slower and I no longer believe it's just the web catching up (otherwise those websites would be completely unusable on x86). Just a couple JS-heavy pages open make the entire machine unusable (IntelliJ starts stuttering like crazy) and a video call is out of the question, despite me successfully using IntelliJ while on calls using a 12-inch Macbook with an entry-level x86 processor. I'm not sure if it's a hardware problem (NAND wearing out due to a bug that just thrashes IO constantly?), software (I reinstalled the OS recently just in case) or something else. There's also so much shit running in the background (look in Activity Monitor) that it's hard to tell what's normal and what's not. I think of going back to Linux, at the very least it'll be a relatively simple system I can understand.
