That's interesting. I'm in a similar boat but have had more trouble kicking the Mac habit I guess. Something keeps drawing me back.

I guess at the moment, it's a combination of my significant investment in GUI scripting (Automator, AppleScript, etc.) and a love of ARM processors which Apple still seems to do best? But there's also a familiarity/old-habits-die-hard aspect to it I'm sure.

    Habits were my biggest source of resistance. The day I decided to deal with those, the rest was (almost) painless.

    The trigger was my desire to get back some control over my data (and over my computer) and to get back some privacy... while also being able to easily fix/upgrade my hardware instead of having to purchase a new one when it's fallen out of warranty.

    Bash + scripting replaced Automator for my use case. The one thing I still do miss from macOS is... Spotlight. There is a lot of ways to search on Linux but the simplicity, efficiency and speed of Spotlight... it's just <3
