Ask HN: How did you transition from Mac to Linux?
I&#x27;m mostly bugged by the <i>vastly</i> inferior touchpad experience (Apple touchpad &gt; pointy nub &gt; Non-apple touchpad, and that is not up for discussion), and lack of things like Autodesk Fusion360 support for Linux (which I use for hobby CNC&#x2F;3D printing purposes).<p>Also, some small UI things are just nicer in macOS, like how well scrolling follows input, making it seem like you&#x27;re physically moving the content. That illusion is lost on Linux.<p>Most other things are as nice, if not nicer. I chose Fedora 28 Workstation, rather than Ubuntu, and it&#x27;s all really quite polished. It&#x27;s also a hell of a lot snappier, even on the same hardware. I wouldn&#x27;t recommend using Linux on Apple hardware, though, primarily due to how annoying the gmux (dual GPU multiplexing chip) is to deal with.<p>I might be buying the XPS 2-in-1 when the 32GB model comes out. AMD &gt; nVidia graphics when it comes to Linux (nVidia are assholes). I would&#x27;ve picked Ryzen, but it seems a bit immature for laptops.
