For development yes, but for the consumer apps you might be used to using (or have paid for) it could be difficult switching. YNAB, Fluenz, & iTunes are things

YNAB, Fluenz, & iTunes are things you might want a mac for.
- duncan_bayne 12y agoI'd have assumed that people would flee from iTunes given the chance :) Perhaps it's improved in the years since I last used it (bought an iPhone when they were the New Hotness here in Australia) but I doubt it. When I migrated off iOS I encoded my iTunes music to .ogg, which was a pretty good experience. I don't know what the state of the art is now though. According to the forums, YNAB runs in Linux on WINE. Also people have reported some success with Fluenz on WINE as well. For music I run Spotify, which has a good Linux client these days. I'll grant you it isn't always easy, or even possible, but there are usually alternatives.
- iends 12y agoI use iTunes mainly for podcasts. I don't know of a good alternative to that. I also hate ruining a good linux installation with WINE. =)
- duncan_bayne 12y ago:) My podcast workflow is a little odd - I subscribe to RSS feeds with Newsblur, and as new podcasts come up, I save those I'm interested in to a directory that I synchronise with my home NAS with Unison. I imagine gPodder (http://gpodder.org/ http://gpodder.org/) might be a more normal solution :)
