macOS users struggle with steep learning curve and workflow disruption when switching to Linux
Long-time macOS users wanting to escape Apple's ecosystem face significant friction when transitioning to Linux due to unfamiliar interfaces, different workflows, and uncertainty about which distro matches their needs. Current solutions fail because distro communities assume Linux knowledge and don't provide smooth migration paths for users coming from polished, unified ecosystems. Users remain stuck in macOS despite frustration because the switching cost feels too high.

I'm a long-time macOS user and I just want a change. Curious what people here actually use every day and what made you stick with it. Curious if you also switched from a Mac too. I'd like to get out of the "walled garden" ecosystem....
