Yes, I'm tired of it. However, I love the hardware. I feel like I'm right on some edge with MacOS. I go about my daily work and don't think about it too much but it comes up from time to time. For example, I very recently bought a macbook, and it drove me nuts that there's things like stock and chess apps that are hard-coded into a separate read-only partition, as if they're essential to the OS, that requires layers of steps to get to. I appreciate the security but I feel like stuff like that is really testing some limits of control or something. I could change all of it but it's not worth the trouble. On the other hand, one of the reasons I appreciate Asahi linux is that I know at some level there's some safety valve, that if I really got upset, I could install an alternative. It might not work quite as well in terms of energy efficiency and so forth right now, but it's something and they're improving things at such a quick pace it might not matter by the time it became an issue, if ever. I looked hard at linux laptops and although there were some really nice options I vacillated about, none of them had quite the combination of hardware features as a macbook. If there had been something closer I probably would have gone that route. My favorite GUI/OS setup is Kubuntu, by far. If I could put any OS on any hardware it would probably be something with KDE+deb. I think it's too easy to lose track of windows and other things in MacOS, and I don't like the sense that Apple is flirting with who's in control of the OS. On the other hand, I'd probably prefer linux or MacOS to Windows at this point, only because it's what I'm most used to. This happened organically over time due to work-related systems, and wasn't a big conscious choice or something.
