Could have just stopped there 🤷
I still prefer it over windows. If it were not for their absurd pricing, I’d have a MacBook Air over my thinkpad.
I’d much prefer to run Linux, but I’ve yet to find a way to do my main work task on something other than Mac or windows.
Honestly if it weren't for the headache of some software still not ported over to arm 4 years later, Macs would be pretty good for software development since they have a lot of the POSIX tooling.
For the same reason I have windows so that games will "just work," I have Linux so my programming setup will "just work." Low level languages like C/C++ are so much easier to work with on Linux.
