Everybody coming in with the lightning angle, but I just want to point out that constantly having to sign micropayments is a pain. People really want prepaid draw down of the account. Having to approve every transaction is a horrible UX, but not something you would want to automate for crypto either.

This extra layer (and wine) are always going to be garbage.

If you need Mac or Windows, your best bet is not to move to Linux in the first place.

If you do mostly development or scientific computing, then you’ve probably dealt with more pain on those platforms, that melts away on Linux.

Best tool for job wins.

Try running a few docker containers to support development work. A few DBs, messaging servers, Lucene indices, etc. Try prototyping applications using map-reduce for huge datasets.

"Pro" doesn't always refer to the artistic line of professionals. Many developers see this as a huge problem, and there are a lot of us.

Our options now include the 2005-era looking systems at system76.com, running Linux. I love Linux for servers, but I really don't like the GUIs, or acting as my own systems integrator. I want a true modern "Pro" macOS system, and that doesn't exist right now.
