I'm considering switching back because of the poor support the Mac has been getting and the abysmal frequency of the hardware updates makes it feel like Apple really only cares about their mobile market and don't really want to continue to support the platform I'm most interested in using.”īgdawes: “+1 for switching to linux from Mac.
I also primarily am a web developer and having easy access to windows, OS X and Linux on the same machine is damn convenient for testing. I like Macs because I'm familiar with Bash a lot more than the windows command line, and the build quality of their laptops is (or was) top notch. Just_comments: “I'm a Mac user that used to use Linux on my PC. Thanks for the feedback on your experience.” Nicolas’ post caught the attention of Linux redditors and they shared their thoughts about his transition from MacOS to Ubuntu Linux:ĭshargreave: “Just about every Mac user I know is either considering switching back to Linux or has already. I finally took the plunge and ordered a Lenovo X1 Carbon, then started my journey to being a Linux user again. And now I see their latest MBP line with the Esc key removed (so you can't escape anymore, haha), I'm kinda comforted in my decision. If even their top notch hardware started to turn weird, it was probably time to look elsewhere. The trigger was pulled when Apple announced their 2015 MacBook line, with strange connectivity decisions like having a unique port for everything and using dongles: meh. To be frank, I was a happy Apple user in the early years, then the shine started to fade messing up your system after upgrades became more frequent, Apple apps grown more and more bloated and intrusive (hello iTunes), UX started turning Kafkaian at times, too often I was finding myself tweaking and repairing stuff from the terminal. I was a Linux user 10 years ago but moved to being a Mac one, mainly because I was tired of maintaining an often broken system (hello nf), and Apple had quite an appealing offer at the time: a well-maintained Unix platform matching beautiful hardware, sought-after UX, access to editor apps like Photoshop and MS Office, so best of both worlds. But what happens when a MacOS user tires of doing things Apple’s way? He switches to Ubuntu Linux and doesn’t look back. Why a MacOS user switched to Ubuntu LinuxĪpple’s MacOS has long been the de facto alternative to Windows.
