Two weeks on Linux, wildly satisfied. After a Mac. I specifically have a setup of ArchLinux+KDE/Plasma 6.5. Everything here is customizable. For instance, I made a program from scratch in half an hour (no lie, thirty minutes) using Gemini that translates selected text to English or corrects errors if the selected text is already in English when ScrollLock is pressed. There seems to be an app for every situation in life, at least in my field. Everything flies (even though this is an Intel i9 285K/64Gb). I just enter a folder that contains 470,000 files, and it opens instantaneously. I’ve never seen anything like this anywhere else. I launch IntelliJ Idea, and there is practically no delay between clicking the icon and the editor being ready with the loaded project. All devices connected perfectly, unlike with the Mac, for which there are simply no drivers for my HP LaserJet 1018 and I need to perform tricks.
Now I occasionally switch to a Mac, and it drives me crazy that the hotkeys are different. Of course, they can be reconfigured for Mac, and probably I will do that. Muscle memory builds up, and switching quickly doesn’t work out. I miss iMessage a bit – I’m used to writing and responding to messages from the computer. Apple iMusic works, through a browser.
Overall, the impression is very good so far.
