I was just forced to Switch to Mac and let me tell you that I'm actually enjoying it.

Things I like so far:

  • An actual modern email client that isn't web based. Web mail clients feel so cumbersome.

  • Same thing for a calendar application.

  • Nice reminders app out of the box. Can schedule alarms on reminders and categorize them.

  • Nice notes app that I don't need to constantly save. It never closes, which feels great compared to Gedit.

  • Security. Apps notify me when they want to access system resources and I have to authorize them.

  • Unix. Unix matters a lot.

  • Homebrew has incredible support. I can install almost anything with it.

  • Iterm2 feels almost like Terminator.

Things I hate:

  • The fact that they have another keyboard layout. Although, after 3 days I'm getting used.

  • Updates take forever, it's insane.

  • Can't easily switch back and forth (not cycle) between windows of same apps. Haven't figured this one out.

  • Docker runs in a VM, it sucks.

  • Can't get used to multiple desktops. I hate them.

Honestly, it isn't as bad as Windows. As long as I have a terminal and a nice shell, I'm good.

I use macOS as my daily driver, though still use Linux sometimes. When I dual-booted macOS with Linux, I immediately fell in love. I don't have a Mac, but my next computer will be a MacBook. Of course there are things I don't like, but I will not write it down right now, maybe edit this comment later. I love the virtual desktops tough, I always press the green button on Safari to maximize, and put it on a new desktop, so I can easily switch with a 4-finger swipe, and I don't have to overlay another window or Safari when I am switching apps.
