I had dabbled with Linux years ago and thought interesting. Windows 11 convinced me to find an alternative so I chose Apple which was also my first computer, an Apple II. Linux was my back up plan. It still maybe down the road. Also I really don’t trust Chrome and their vacuum cleaner business model. I almost refuse to use Google search engine.
“... so I chose Apple ...”
You do know (I hope) that Apple IOS is merely another flavor of Unix (Darwin), the forefather of Linux. IoS is a bit more refined than many linux distributions but very similar to linux non-the-less.
So you have joined the ‘*nix’ world after all.
