From Windows to Linux to macOS

macFag here; I had the opposite experience actually.....Windows -> Linux (this was 2005 and my raid controller on my GAYMING laptop crapped out and I was too dumb to fix it....plus reinstalling windows without a dvd wasn't possible, my friend got me on linux so I could still use my computer for school stuff). Then after using Linux as a daily computer for 10 years I had to fix my dad's MacBook for him.....messing with the terminal showed me all my linux knowledge could be used on macOS, plus support for the stupid stuff I was forced to use (Microsoft office, adobe crap). And I got hooked which is funny because I was very anti apple before the experience. Tried WSL when it came out but the Mac hardware and synergy between having apple devices (I have to have an iPhone for a work app we use) is just way too good in comparison. I also don't play any gaymes anymore except indie stuff so that helps too.

Пользователь рассказывает, как из-за сломавшегося RAID-контроллера на игровом ноутбуке перешёл с Windows на Linux, а позже начал пользоваться macOS после ремонта MacBook отца. Шутка в неожиданном признании бывшего противника Apple: благодаря терминалу, поддержке нужных программ и экосистеме Apple он настолько привык к Mac, что больше не хочет возвращаться, особенно после отказа от требовательных игр. EN: A user explains how a broken RAID controller on a gaming laptop made them switch from Windows to Linux, and how they later started using macOS after repairing their father’s MacBook. The joke is the unexpected confession of a former Apple hater: terminal access, support for needed software, and Apple’s ecosystem made them so comfortable with a Mac that they no longer want to go back, especially after giving up demanding games.
