I switched to MacOS last year and it’s so much better. Considering a full Linux switch when this iMac is too old unless the VisionPros turn out to be as good as advertised

I'm using Windows 10 at home and 11 at work. I've already turned an old gaming laptop into a Linux machine, and I don't think I'll ever switch to Windows 11. The straw that broke the camel's back was the moment I read an article about Microsoft's vision to make Windows entirely cloud based.

That's so they can run everything as SaaS and bill you monthly to use the computer you already paid for.

Eventually everyone's going to reach a breaking point where they feel subscriptioned out. I've already reached that point, but it appears the threshold for most people is much greater than mine, unfortunately.
