I am on macOS: Mostly software, to be honest, since I don't like laptops (mac mini is my main driver). Devonthink as my software for archiving, scanning documents and OCR, Alfred as a launcher, Hammerspoon for automation. Other that that - I am programming a lot and spend a lot of time in Emacs, so I would be fine for my personal stuff.

But I also assume, that I would spend a lot of time for configuration and I would get a lot of small hardware support problems - wifi, hibernate, bluetooth. Also I would not be able to sync and copy/paste across my other apple devices, use my magic trackpad and airpods and so on.

Honestly, it is a difficult topic - I've used Linux and FreeBSD as my sole desktop system in the past for several years, so that I have a pretty good understanding of what to expect. On one side I do not want to spend time to fiddle with my system anymore, on the other side I have a feeling that the current privacy-violating course at apple will push me to jump the ship.

This can be done on Linux too with Gsconnect and KDE connect.
