Breaking: Whiny Apple Fan Moves To Linux
The journey started last fall when, after getting sick of the small screen size on my 13-inch M1 MacBook Air and deciding my friction tunnel was perhaps too old and weird to be a long-term solution, I decided to pull out my old HackBook for a spin and try it with Linux. Obviously, the M1 beats a laptop with an 8550u any day of the week, but the machine, a 2017 HP Spectre 15, had a better and larger screen, despite having massive bezels, especially on the bottom.
But rather than upgrading the fairly ancient MacOS install I had on the machine, I decided to use Debian instead. It turned out to be a fairly solid device for that use case. I had to look around for alternatives to my common tools, and with the exception of image editing and print design, most use cases are properly covered.
