I bought a Mac and went back to Linux.

I'd always been curious to own a Mac and try macOS. The existence of ARM chips and the recent release of the MacBook Neo encouraged me to buy it.

The laptop's build quality and screen are fantastic, like few I've ever seen. The A18 Pro chip is quite powerful for its intended purpose (I work with text and browse the internet). Even with 8 GB of RAM, the laptop met all my needs. The keyboard is really good, but I consider the ThinkPad's keyboard unbeatable.

But then came macOS. The window management is awful. The workflow feels sluggish. Having to be logged into the App Store to install applications didn't appeal to me. I couldn't easily remove any program I wanted. But perhaps the worst part was the feeling that the system simply wasn't mine. I couldn't do what I wanted, install and run things the way I wanted.

I returned the MacBook and went back to my old laptop with an AMD Ryzen and Fedora. I feel like I'm at home. Linux has something that other closed systems will never be able to deliver.
