I’m using macOS on an M1Pro MacBook Pro as a middle way between Windows and Linux. I’m also over 30 and I can’t stay I don’t like a profesional looking nice design and great materials/build quality. I had a really bad experience when I bought a new Lenovo gaming laptop 2 years ago with Ubuntu Linux. The trackpad and graphics card were not working due to driver issues. I think I also had to compile a kernel module…Full Disk Encryption I feel is also finicky. I always forget …is it LUKS on LVM or the other way around. btrfs was still not straightened out.

I wonder how battery usage compares on a MacBook between these 2 and Safari.

It’s actually the way the sound is remixed these days. I’m not going deaf😮‍💨. Old movie dialogue is loud and crisp as fuck. Just watch some TCM.
