Leaving Apple is difficult

It's difficult to leave the Apple ecosystem. Not because I'm locked in (I've been careful about that), but because it works well within itself.

MacOS is more internally consistent than Windows 10. MacOS often runs better on Apple hardware than Windows does on any hardware (even Microsoft's). MacOS is smoother than Windows running on the same hardware.

But it's not where I want to be. I'm unlikely to make a living writing code for Apple products. I'm not happy with their ethics.

So I need to sell my MacBook Pro. I tried installing Windows on it, just to save buying additional hardware, but it was a bad experience. Perhaps Linux is more functional on a machine designed to run it...
