Indeed, I switched to Mac in 2004 because Linux was a horrible UX mess at that point. Mac was a great POSIX system with a consistent UI and major first-party apps.

Now Apple is becoming more and more unworkable to use as a unix system, and Linux is really much better now. Only gap is still first-party software unfortunately but luckily I don't really ever need stuff like photoshop and office personally.

If you do, check out CrossOver: https://www.codeweavers.com/crossover

It's a straight up Microsoft Office suite clone for Mac and Linux, which can open, save, AND create MSOffice formats (.docx, etc.).


Huh? CrossOver is just a Wine fork with a GUI. It's not an Office suite. You can install the real MS Office on it, but it has no actual office applications built-in.


are you thinking of libreoffice?
