I switched from Linux to Mac around the same age I think, I know Linux works much better now but Mac just works. I remember trying to connect a ThinkPad with an AMD/ATI graphic card I had paid extra to an external monitor on my ex-wife laptop, what a massive PITA and it never worked, it would just work with the Intel builtin GPU. I'm glad I suffered a bit with Linux it taught me vim and resilience and using the command line / shell, but for my day to day I'm happy with Mac. Ironically I just bought a Neo for my home laptop, I'm a bit annoyed by the keyboard because at work I have a 15/16 inches Macbook Pro but I don't do much on it so it's ok.

I remember trying to connect a ThinkPad[...] I am not denying Apple is producing some really nice hardware but we wouldn't have these kind of conversations if people stopped comparing apples(pun intended) to oranges and cared to buy fully supported and linux preinstalled computers. I know it might have been complicated back in the days when people weren't used to order online but nowadays it is quite easy to find one. https://linuxpreloaded.com/ https://linuxpreloaded.com/
