I grew up on Mac and only switched to Windows when I was 30. lol

I still wonder what Linux is like… It’s probably cool.

Well, the time to find out is now :)

I would love to try it out, but if there is one thing that will make me want to set the world on fire: it’s tech issues lmfao Not saying that’s what the experience is like, I just kinda get that impression from memes and shit

The setup does not seem undaunting lmao

It's as painless to install Linux as it is to install Windows. In fact these days Linux might be the easy one.

Give it a try sometime, you could be pleasantly surprised.

The setup for most distros is actually extremely easy. Much faster and easier than Windows, for sure.

I was scared to switch for so long, and my only regret has been that I didn't do it sooner.

Depending on when and how deep your Mac experience was, it might be an easy switch. Despite its numerous failings MacOS, from OSX onwards, is a Unix. In particular a BSD, via NeXTSTEP.
