I have two macs. And, yes, I surely I can afford many more of it.

But, whether you own a mac or not, once you start using Linux (and it takes patience to do so _effectively_), I can guarantee that you _will_ never want to use anything else.

- Linux user for the past 22 years (for the most part been so much fulfilling).

I have a similar experience. Had a Mac from my previous job. I insisted on a Linux laptop when I switched because I just couldn't use macos as effectively as my personal Linux laptop. I didn't find the hardware all that special either

I spent the time to learn to use Linux effectively, and I still want to use something else.

It does take time to be effective. I like to emphasise that learning to be effective at Linux is not a sprint - it's a marathon.

Yes, I ran that marathon, a 10+ year long marathon, and I still prefer other things to Linux.
