That's a good way to think about it, yeah. I'm really hoping the fairphone will become more popular in the coming years as I absolutely love the direction they seem to be taking.

Oh okay, I'll keep that in mind!

Yeah, I agree. I came from a Pixel 6 Pro and had a Pixel phone ever since the original. I was tired of subpar battery life and noticed a massive upgrade moving to Samsung. Hardware is amazing, software can be meh at best from my experience.

True, yeah. I think if I tried to fully switch over, it might slow down my workflow trying to make it work. What I should do is buy/build a new PC for work. A lot of people are suggesting a MacBook which might be good.

Alright sweet. I'll take a look at it.

I agree. I built my first mini itx case for my living room PC and while I look at it now and thought it was fun, it was a headache to put together at the time. I bought a Fractal Design Ridge and if you wanted to change something, you essentially have to take the whole thing apart. I love how it looks though.

I'm a little conflicted if I like mini ITX or micro ATX better. I used a micro ATX for my media server and thought it was a little too roomy for my needs but is SO much easier to build with.

Oo okay sweet! Mac OS doesn't seem too bad now.

I really want to find a decent laptop that I can tinker on. I have a raspberry pi laying around too. I might do that.

Yeah, you are right. I am thinking about maybe buying a MacBook since my school I'm transferring to will require one anyway. Having that be my school and work laptop only will probably help with productivity too.

Well, I sort of do work on two devices for work and gaming. I have a decent windows laptop that I use at work and have my main rig for everything else.

As much as I dislike a lot about Windows, I think you are right. If I am in the graphic design industry, I will need to use Windows. Adobe will probably never port to Linux so I will always have to use it in some shape or form.

True! I am still going to college and the school I will be transferring to requires a MacBook so I have to get one anyway.

Does Mac OS have the same issues as Windows where settings change each update? That is my major annoyance with Windows.

My main reason why I want to switch to Linux is because I am tired of Windows installing MS software and resetting some of my settings whenever it updates. It's a constant game of cat and mouse. Privacy is another issue but I have came to the realization that the only way to be private is to go off grid. Everything spies on you and it's something that will only get worse sadly.
