Mac

I recently realized it’s past time to replace my second hand Core i5 ThinkPad T470s, processor can’t seem to handle modern PackageKit, battery is toast, display and sound are just depressing. After a successful multi-decade career as a software engineer, I reasoned it’s probably ok to get some decent hardware for myself for the first time in my life.

I am very drawn to the current MacBooks, Apple silicon looks and sounds amazing. After roughly 25 years of nothing but Linux though, with literally no exposure to MacOS and a healthy dose of anti-Apple sentiment I’ve harbored for years, this was going to be a tough migration.
