I want to love Linux, but somewhere in the 2000s I just got sick and tired of trying to tweak things to just work. There was no going back when Apple released the first Intel laptop.
Sure, there's an "Apple Tax" which basically means very well constructed hardware (except for keyboard-gate), free OS and generally awesome support at the Genius Bar (and profits of course).
A few years ago I tried switching to Linux (RH) for work (Java) on a laptop (Dell, not my choice), and the experience was massively frustrating beginning with the touchpad. I can't hold the different keyboard shortcuts against the desktop, but my 13 years of OSX muscle memory were hard to give up.
In the end, the quality and interoperability of non-IDE software was missing. I don't mind paying for good software.
Docker speed was amazing, though.
- chasd00 4y agosame thing happened to me. In college and my first couple jobs I used Linux everywhere. Eventually, i just got fed up. Now i use a mac and linux on servers/vms. Happy to pay for good software.
