ok been on a mac studio for 2 months after 15 years of arch linux - here's some takeaways note i still remote into arch for all my work i used to use a 5K ultra wide - on linux you could split it into virtual displays i split it into one 4k display and the remainder was a secondary area, could window manage each independently this is impossible on macOS so the ultra wide was useless - eventually swapped to a 6K regular monitor i settled on aerospace for window management, it's the best i found but it's still rough, macos really does not want you using it this way so much of macos is not customizable i had trouble turning off all animations so a few things still feel slow on the plus side the whole iphone + airpod + mac combo is insane - it changed so many of my habits to the point where i can't imagine giving it up i also use my iphone as my desk camera now, another thing that works seamlessly on mac all media stuff got easier, video recording, editing, audio - even simplified my physical setup in a few places raycast is great - linux sorely missing something as polished. there's a lot of very polished mac apps without a linux equivalent overall...i'm frustrated. there's a lot of good but it's not a slam dunk and my system doesn't feel as optimal as it used to but i also don't wanna give up the positives to go back to linux i feel like the gap is close and apple could close them...but i have no faith they care about any of this stuff
