Thanks for the list and your thoughts. Now I know I’m not giving up much from using a Mac with MacOS instead of a linux desktop distro. Because, I don’t have the needs that you have. I need a computer that works without too much fiddling required for 80% of the way. When I shut the laptop lid, it should sustainably go to sleep, and when I open it up, it should let me work from where I left off instantly. It may be possible to do this with some linux distributions, but then I would either have to know some black magic or give up something else like have a decent battery life. I love and use Linux for all things serious _on_ _servers_! Desktop Linux has been a democratic tragedy of the commons. Too many chefs in the kitchen comes up with a meal that has too many flavours in a single dish.
