I went from an iMac 2011 to a Lenovo i5 USFF device w/ NVME drive, at work with Ubuntu 18 + Gnome 3 and never looked back. Even the desktop experience is more pleasant. Needless to say anything about the speed, feels like a roadbike compared to a beach cruiser. Installing dev tools is a breeze compared to the Mac. Instead of Homebrew installing N^e deps with unstandard config and symlinks I just apt install and everything us fetched and installed quickly without wasting my time and patience. Still remember the 2000's when we used to praise the Mac GUI and every second WM would copy its looks. Those days are over. I wish we had something similar for mobile.
