    What’s so shitty? I’ve been using Linux for over 20 years, and Mac for work over 5. I have my terminal under f12 (iterm2/Konsole), I have my ide on one desktop, my calendar, my email and my slack on a another and a browser on another. I barely notice any difference. Honestly I don’t mind it at all. In fact if my desktop died and had to replace it, I might get a Mac mini instead.

      Also use Mac for work and personal. But I spend most of my time in neovim and the browser, so tbh I don’t really care what I use. I just like that I can answer texts from my Mac via iMessage. I haven’t tried them, but I think there are some i3 style window managers for macOS. That’s the next thing I would explore if I wanted a more Linux like experience.

      I started doing my Xcode builds in CI, so I guess I’m not really tied to Mac anymore. In its current state, I’m more attached to the hardware than the software.

        Codemagic? I’ve made some pokes at using that for iOS builds with middling luck.

      I have been using Linux since the 10th grade. But for work I’m using a Mac. Because I’m not only engineering, but doing other things related to work, having a Mac is more productive and practical.

        I used to do the same, but lately every office thing is browser based, and I find the Linux and Mac experiences are identical.

          The web version of Office is so scuffed. I wouldn’t wish trying to do any serious Excel work with the web version on my worst enemy.

            That’s fair. I also wouldn’t wish serious Excel work on my worst enemy. But I understand someone has to do it, or the nightmare realm could escape the cell borders.
