I’m on board that we need to become independent from big tech. As someone who is fond of the Mac user experience, from choosing hardware to how you navigate through apps, I need a guide to make the switch, so if you know of any great guides for Mac users, I’d greatly appreciate it!

Edit: you have all been very useful. I now know a bit more how to start and what it would mean to switch!

dude, you need to narrow your query way, waaay down. are you ditching the mac and getting a PC? are you gonna rock them side by side until you transition? desktop? gaming? laptop? converting an existing macbook to linux? which one? intel? pre-T2, post? which wifi? what's your daily software stack you depend on?

all the listed things are possible, some easier, some less so, but, respectfully, nobody's gonna write up an all-cases guide for your lazy ass. so, hop to it, state your use case and ping back.

    I’ve gotten a lot of useful advice! I wasn’t looking for a write up, but an existing guide out there. I’m happy with everything people have written.

    a bunch of that is wrong; people here read "what's the best thing for this" as "what do you use" and treat it as rooting for a team. I'd still urge you to write up a more detailed post, but you do you.
