I came from this in the opposite direction. I grew up programming on an iMac, but ended up switching to Linux when Macports/Homebrew started stagnating a few years ago. I was blown away by how simple and well-distributed everything was. Package management wasn't a nightmare, the shell respected administrator authority, I had fully updated coreutils, 32-bit apps/libs... the list goes on. I understand why people use MacOS, but defending it from a development standpoint has started to look asinine in recent years.

Linux is developer friendly but user experience is abysmal.

I’m a developer. I grew up with Linux.

I can’t wait for Apple to turn MacOS into iOS with extras.

Linus himself said that Chromebook (with a shell) looks appealing.

I just want iOS with a shell and file system running on fanless M1 without catching fire!

>Linux is developer friendly but user experience is abysmal.

I am a new Mac user and I will mostly disagree with that. Perhaps some of it is just being used to a different model, but there are lots of things I find confusing and unintuitive about the Mac. Like why can't I tile windows? And maybe it's just me, but I am having difficulty getting the close buttons to show up in full screen and the same for my dock. I am also unclear why sometimes my dock gets covered and other times it doesn't.

Also, I'm pretty disappointed with the performance. It takes 5-10s to open the context menu when right clicking a file in Finder and the thing sounds like a jet engine anytime it sees any sort of load.

I'm of the opinion that if Chrome OS would suit a person's needs, then so would desktop Linux these days.
