macOS Setup after 15 Years of Linux
I did the exact opposite. I was on MacOS since 10.2.<p>But lately I felt things have become way too locked down (both hardware and software), too dumbed down (too many apps resemble mobile apps with limited functionality) and too opinionated. Sometimes I just want things differently. Another reason was that many new features are specific to iCloud integration and as I use many OSes (both computer and mobile) I could not take advantage of those anyway. I need cross platform. So a lot of selling points became irrelevant.<p>I moved to FreeBSD with KDE on top and it felt like a breath of fresh air finally being able to set up my system the way I want it. This is so empowering.<p>It became my daily driver about a year ago and I haven&#x27;t looked back though I still use Mac and Windows for work, Windows personally for gaming and Linux for some servers.<p>Of course I lost some stuff too like Apple&#x27;s excellent multi DPI and great hardware integration. And many apps that were great like pixelmator. But I gained a lot of configurability and the ability to upgrade my hardware again.
