The latest KDE neon with Plasma 6 looks pretty useable nowadays. My Linux Desktop is still secondary and serves mostly as server and TV display. It either shows videos or a huge 40” full screen terminal above my Mac workstation.

It runs Pop-OS now which is also based on Ubuntu so switching would be possible (but it’s work). I’ll keep KDE Neon in mind if I ever manage to fully drop Mac OS.

Both Krita & Blender are tools that I don’t master for historical (and recent laziness) reasons but they make me feel like Linux is finally ready for the desktop in a way it wasn’t in 2003 when I last used it as my daily driver. Dev tools rarely were the issue . Well they are now that I depend on Apple SDKs for my income.

@akosma I don’t hate the Mac that much. I still like it but everything about my actual todo list on it takes all my joy away. I remember the Mac once being a nice alternative to the sadness of Windows and the painful mess of early 2000 Linux hardware support. I have fond memories of learning new stuff on my PowerPC iBook. Then it became progressively a day job while Apple got bigger and therefore worse 🙄

@santiago don’t need to hate the Mac to move to Linux. Or even FreeBSD as I’ve been doing lately.

@santiago and yes, the period from Mac OS X Tiger to Snow Leopard was peak joy.
