I used to run Linux before switching to Mac, around 10 years ago. Recently got a Dell XPS 13 and installed Ubuntu (then Mint).
Installing stuff on Ubuntu I used a couple of PPAs. How is this any different than curl|bash? You just trust some repo blindly.
Also, please refer me to this magical distro that just works cause I have seen these before going back to Mac:
- HiDPI scaling does not just work. There are weird issues here and there.
- Closing the lid does not reliably put the laptop to sleep. Sometimes when it does, opening it does not just wake it up.
- Once in a while, the OS completely forgot that it had a Wi-Fi device. I just restarted and it returned.
I don’t have time to test workarounds, read logs, try different distros and shit like that. I never once had to think twice before tossing a MacBook into my pack because it might still be awake?
I love Linux on servers, used o love it on my desktop but that was high school / college days. I had too much time to tweak things just perfect.
