Lately I’ve really been considering moving from macOS to Linux. But y’all may not know how scary and chaotic that is. I assume I’m not alone.

Anyone have good stories making this transition?

I’ve been designing and coding for 30 years. THREE fucking decades. On Apple computers that entire time. And I have my family set-up on them. We share apps and stuff.

Moving to Linux would be a wild ride. Even though it’s the one place in my life where I’m contributing to big tech. It feels like the last holdout.

For an ADHD person like me, this is filling me with blend of excitement and anxiety.

I’m loving Linux on my old MacBook. But I might want some new hardware. Like a laptop from @frameworkcomputer. Their hardware is primo.

I’d love any/all advice, stories, etc.

Over the weekend, a super-cool thing happened. @flathub finally approved/published my first ever Linux app, Ratio! And it’s my first ever FOSS app.

Some of you may know that I’ve had a macOS version published for a while now. It’s a WCAG color contrast checker for accessibility.

I’ve been working on the Linux version for months. I’ve had to learn as I go. It was really hard. It’s a GTK 4 native app, so it should work across the board.
