Instead of going to Win11, I went Linux on Mac hardware.
I hating the thought of the day I’d have to “upgrade” to Win11 on my mobile device. Even if I went Linux it would mean there would be a good chunk of commercial applications that simply wouldn’t be compatible and proprietary solutions would be out-of-reach without a mainstream supported commercial OS . It would also mean potentially having to have some kind of Windows for doing certain firmware updates.
I’m now 1 day in on using a Macbook Air M2 dual booting with Asahi Linux. I still have OSX to fall back to if I run into a proprietary application or solution I need to use or do firmware updates.
Well, boujie BSD, but the important point is that OSX is commercially supported. Meaning commerical companies make and support applications and hardware for it. With desktop Linux its a “best effort” from manufactures at best. If I’m stuck somewhere and absolutely have to use a commercial application/piece of hardware I can feel pretty safe that it will be supported under OSX which is only a reboot away from the primary Linux install I’ll be using full time.
