That sounds somewhat resonant. I'd be really curious as to what insights you had or choices you made; considering the same type of switch. Did you ever write anything up on the journey or find any particular resources useful?

Not really. I've played it safe by buying a Linux desktop box in addition to my MacBook. elementary OS was fun (esp. the Daily build) because so many things can be fixed on an evening by sending a small PR, and they also receive support from the Touchégg developer now for better trackpad gestures. But I never managed to treat Linux as more than a thin shell around my IntelliJ IDE.
Isn't Sublime Merge a great cross-platform replacement for Git Tower?

Thanks. I've tried it when it came out and wasn't really convinced. The video on its homepage looks better now, I'll give it another try when I'm on Linux again.
Plus first-party apps like Safari with its fluid trackpad gestures, Photos with its iCloud integration, and of course Xcode, because being able to build/debug things for macOS/iOS is a bonus feature I can offer as a developer.
The list is a lot shorter than 10 or 15 years ago. Most new apps that come out are Electron, but even then there's sometimes no Linux port (Trello, WhatsApp).
