@slngshot-dvnngrod.bsky.social Yeah, I do have some longing looks towards Linux. I wrote a blog post called Locked-In-O-Meter: iPhone Edition earlier, and I plan to do a Mac version as well! But my three main reasons for why it’s hard to move off the Mac are:
- I’d take a larger hit on the hardware compared to moving phone platforms. (Even though Frameworks are cool.)
- There’s a bunch of software I need, like Logic Pro and Affinity (the latter could perhaps be emulated from Windows?).
- There’s a lot of third-party software I’d really miss. Like Bike, Ulysses, Raycast, Paste, Cleanshot, BetterTouchTool, etc. Even after Tahoe, I love using my Mac — because of apps like that.
Also, with the Mac I can, to a larger extent (compared to the iPhone — not Linux), fix the things I don’t like.
Haha, yeah — the 30% thing was just a tongue-in-cheek jab at Apple. (Since, apparently, the party giving the other the business deserves 30 %.)

@hunsanger Thanks! 🫶🏻 Yeah, it is a bit complicated. Doesn’t make it impossible, though!

@agile Me too! I tried to add one of them now — but turns out I don’t have a Thread border router. 😅 My Apple TV is too old, and the one in my Mac Mini is locked by Apple… (I run Home Assistant on it.) I was trying to find a used Apple TV 4K (w/Ethernet) anyway, so..!
Oh, wait — turns out I should be able to get Thread to work with the radio I use to get Zigbee to my Mac Mini/Home Assistant… 🤔
