I already switched away from Apple to Linux in the last few months, and it's been awakening my passion for computers again.

Best desktop environment for people who want a very good looking desktop is Deepin, and the Manjaro Community Edition with Deepin has been rock stable, very fast and very beautiful for me during the last few months I've been using it. Highly recommended.

You don't need a MacBook anymore for things to just work and be great looking.
