started using a Mac as my personal machine recently after exclusively using linux for 20 years and one of the most surprising things has been that the options for creative software (making vector graphics, fonts, etc) on Mac really are much better in many cases
feels like one of those things that everyone knows but I never really internalized
(do not lecture me about the options available on Linux, I promise I know)
also i should say that using a mac has been hard for me, after using linux for 20 years there are a lot of things from Linux that I really miss (like package management, strace & friends, native container support).
I really understood how my linux system worked and I miss that.
it makes a lot of other things harder and I still haven’t found solutions i’m happy with for many of them. The tradeoff is worth it for now though
(again, not looking for advice.)
@b0rk I love linux and would never consider anything else for running software for other people to use. But I live on Mac for software that *I* want to use.
Understood that you don't want advice, but if at some point you do, Fedi is a really good place to ask for it. Also FWIW I have some protips-from-a-longtime-user pieces on my blog.
