Even though Linuxplosion runs Linux, specifically Ubuntu, 99,9% of my computer time is spent on a MacBook Pro 13’ 2019 running, guess what, MacOS.
Even though I hate everything about the capitalist premises of the company who owns and develops it, I love MacOS and to be honest most of my life depends on it. Nevertheless, since I hate proprietary software, especially if coming from a huge ugly corporation like Apple, I hope that the day where I will have the strength drop everything and exclusively use Linux will come soon. I would love to avoid consumerism, capitalism and monopolies as much as possible, without compromising stability, performance and reliability.
For this purpose, I am gathering here resources for when I will be ready.

Linux on my MacBook Pro
Buying another device just to start using Linux earlier than I would is exactly the opposite of what I am trying to accomplish. Therefore, I decided I would start test how Linux would feel like on a daily basis by sideloading it on my MacBook Pro. Insights follow below.
Hardware
When my MacBook’s life is getting close to an end, I will start looging for a device to substitute it. Right now, I am inclined to get an awesome Lenovo ThinkPad.

Switching from MacOS
Some notes concerning stuff I do on MacOS that I need to find an alternative for in Linux:
- signing documents and filling PDFs
- keyboard shortcuts to rearrange windows (Rectangle)
- Automatically switch between light and dark themes, according to the brightness of the environment, using light sensor info (DarkModeBuddy)
- remember, store and synchronize WiFi passwords
- Find alternatives for the Apps in use
