To each their own. I switched from Mac to Linux last year and did some experimenting. Now I’m using Ubuntu 18.04 after committing time to both Fedora and Mint. I had good experiences with all of them but this latest Ubuntu with Gnome 3 has been great.

I’d also have a hard time going back to OSX now. At the same time, it’s not for everybody. This was something I wanted to do for me and I was determined to see it through. If somebody had pushed me into it I probably would have spent more time focusing on deficiencies.

Did you switch hardware too, or end up running ubuntu on a macbook pro?

I committed and bought a Dell Developer Edition laptop. I wanted support in case I had a problem and I wanted to know all of the hardware was built to work smoothly with Linux without having to research each item. I was torn between Dell and System76 but ended up settling on Dell because of previous great hardware experiences with them.

I’d held on to my 17” MBP until last January when it was clear they were sticking with their current direction on laptops.
