- Comment on Strategies and advice for transitioning out of Apple's ecosystem of devices? 7 hours ago:
A clear purpose and clear expectations help. It’s important to remember why using Linux is valuable. It’s what keeps us pushing through, even when it gets tough. It also helps to know that not everything will work right out of the box. And, to an extent, one can assume that that is the cost of using Linux.
One thing that inspires me is Snowden’s quote that says something like “We won’t win with features, but with ethical convictions”.
Now, as to what steps to take, focus on safe-to-fail experiments. Start by making relatively small changes, even within the Apple ecosystem:
- Safari to Firefox
- Pages / Word / Numbers / Excel to LibreOffice
- Photos to Ente or whatever you want to use
Once these changes are part of daily life, you can attempt a transition to Linux.
The idea here is to make change sustainable.
