This is the exact reason I am currently very uncomfortable with the idea of a new Macbook Pro for my own business use.
On the one had it absolutely makes life a lot easier and all the software I need runs great on it. On the other I would by buying into a device I simply cannot upgrade or maintain myself. This makes me extremely uncomfortable.
I dont want to run Windows as a daily driver since it is really jarring for my personal workflow etc. Yet Linux lacks quite a few of the essential pieces of software I need outside of development. E.g. (Krisp.AI, Reincubate Camo etc)
Rock <--> Hard Place
- trinsic2 4y agoI was a windows user and thought the same thing for awhile about switching to Linux. I was heavily dependent on Adobe products to create PDF Forms. Then I realized I could use a CRM solution to handle the from creation for me. I wrote about my experience in switching to Linux and so far it is work well for me: https://www.scottrlarson.com/publications/publication-transition-windows-to-linux/ https://www.scottrlarson.com/publications/publication-transi...

- rootusrootus 4y agoFor as often as I've had to upgrade a machine, or had a hardware failure, I'd just choose whatever works best for my daily workflow. An inconvenient fix that takes my computer out of service for a day while I run over to the Apple Store that only happens every few years at most is just not comparable to something that puts a drag on my workflow every single day.
