Hey everyone, I’m seriously considering switching from Linux to macOS as my main system and I’d love to hear from people who’ve actually done it.

I’ve been using Arch for a while and I really enjoy the freedom and control it gives. At the same time, I’m drawn to the hardware quality of MacBooks Bro Games the battery life, silence, and how polished everything feels.

For those who made the jump: how was the transition? Did you find macOS’s Unix-like environment comfortable, or did it feel too restrictive compared to Linux? And maybe more importantly, is there anyone here who still contributes to open-source projects or uses typical Linux tools (like Neovim, tmux, Docker, etc.) while working on macOS?

I’m trying to figure out if the change is worth it in the long run, or if you ended up missing Linux’s flexibility.
