From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
Rules
- Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.

As a Python dev, I think I may understand your desire to get away from Windows. I have often encountered Python tools and frameworks that don't work on Windows but do on Unix (Linux and MacOS), like Flask, but can't recall seeing the other way around.
If:
I would not mess with it and just stick with MacOS.
If your laptop is no longer supported or it is getting too slow, or if you want to play around with Linux, that would be a good reason to move away from MacOS.
I think I'll try the original Os, which should be Monterey, for a couple of weeks. If it's slow or doesn't receive updates anymore I'll move to Linux. Thanks for your advice.
Happy to help! Hope we all didn't overwhelm you too much and see you in !python@programming.dev , !programming@programming.dev , !learnpython@lemmy.ml
