Whenever I get stressed I start changing things: in the last week or so I've swapped Win11 for linux, then decided I miss my software so of course Mac is the next sensible(?) alternative, so I've been obsessively reading up on making the switch from win/android and have all the pricing memorised. I'm exhausted, lol.

Has anyone made the switch to apple and developed Opinions?

I use all three, although primarily run Linux and macOS.

I think Apple's hardware offerings have really beaten the competition with their new M-series chips just outperforming everyone else with significantly less energy. You also get the advantage of macOS being a UNIX system, so if you're familiar with Linux, the same principles apply.

I switched from running Linux on my Surface Pro 3, then Linux on a Dell XPS 15, to a 14" MacBook Pro with the 10-core M1 Pro. I still use Linux on my desktop and love it, but macOS is very similar to Linux and apple's portable hardware beats everyone else by about 3 years or more imo. There are definitely some apple universe quirks but I wouldn't consider anyone else for a laptop for another few generations of competitors attempting to catch up with where apple was in 2021.
