Chris you missed the bombshell announcement a couple of years ago. I swore that I would never do it, but my computing life simplified when I moved to MacOS. The rationale is here, related to home/office synchronization and firewalls during COVID-19: hbiostat.org/fh/tools

Crazy. I went the opposite direction and moved off of Apple hardware a couple of years ago and onto Framework machines running Bluefin Linux (projectbluefin.io). I really love being able to arbitrarily update laptop components on the Framework.

Wow - surprised but this does sound neat. I tried my best to make Linux do everything; I needed to be able to edit others' Word docs so installed Ubuntu on Windows 11. That turned out very badly. Bit the bullet and have Word on Mac.
