		jnaina on June 9, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Ask HN: Who Went Mac –> Linux? Being a long time Mac user, I really tried to make Ubuntu my daily driver, as most of my homelab/server projects were on Debian linux. But, after "death by a thousand micro cuts", I gave up. My current "equilibrium" that works well is Mac for my desktops and laptops, and Linux for all my other systems in my homelab (Plex server, NAS, app servers, touch controls for home automation, home surveillance systems, etc). As long as the Linux track pad experience remains crappy, I doubt I will ever move over to Linux as my primary desktop.

This. IMHO, Mac for personal computers and Linux for anything server-related gives the best of two worlds.

Was it primarily the trackpad or was there other considerations as well?

By the way, I gave up completely on Ubuntu. Fedora is the "new Ubuntu" for me. Easy to setup and use.
