From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

But my daily driver is a Mac for the reasons you mention.

That was my position until Microsoft decided to create Windows Terminal, powershell, WSL and whatnot. At that point why pay more for hardware to end up virtualizing stuff when I could just simplify my life and use Windows? After all I don't even used their ecosystem as I don't trust cloud services and big providers handling my data. Less reasons to keep using Apple.

I’ve been a Mac user since OS 1.0 so Windows has stopped making sense to me. Whenever I try anything it’s like working on a car where all the bolts turn the wrong way.

Plus I haven’t bought a Mac in years. My job buys them and I get to keep them when I leave.
