I would love to step back into Linux. When I was a comp sci student, many moons ago, I switched to Red Hat and used it mostly full time, with the exception of when I had a professor here and there who required, for unknown reasons, that we use VC++. After awhile I switched to Gentoo linux, compiling the entire OS from scratch following their very loose and confusing guide. I loved that system and used it for a few years.
I switched to Mac some years later not because of being bewitched by Steve Job's reality distortion field, but rather because I had always found myself wasting far too much time on Linux just fiddling around, and with kids on the way and increased job requirements, I didn't want to fiddle anymore. Mac appealed more to me than Windows because of the BSD core and ability to dig in and install Unix apps.
Alas, I have no time now. But I would love to step back into Linux sometime in the future.
I love my M2 macbook air - its such a high quality piece of hardware, and does an excellent job.
I already have a mage-powerful gaming PC, and very much did not like the direction Windows 11 was going in, so it was goodbye as my day to day OS.
I still need the windows partition for photoshop, powerbi, and lightroom (too slow on my laptop compared to a 4090 and a 16c/ 32 thread cpu) - but I can make do.
I even got davinci resolve working on arch, which was a bit trickier than I anticipated due to codec issues. ffmpeg to the resuce, as usual :)
