Well, my friend, I understand what you’re saying. I used to be a Windows user until I discovered Linux around 2015, and I bounced around a bunch before settling on Fedora for almost 5 years. And if you asked me to switch to anything, I’d say fuck that!
I used to believe Linux was the best, but then I watched ChrisTechTips. He really opened my eyes to how an operating system is. Whether it’s Windows, Linux, or Mac is actually just a tool, and you can actually use them all. He himself uses Windows to game on Linux for his personal life and Mac for video editing, and you know what? I can’t say no to that. If you have the money, go for whatever works for you.
for example, what works for me is simple:
A console for gaming… I’m not a big gamer who needs a Windows gaming monster.
A Linux desktop for my deep research and personal home lab.
A Mac for traveling and doing some light editing, writing, and maybe watching movies and TV shows on it.
Someone might say, “Well, I cannot afford all of these,” and I agree. But these things came gradually; like I didn’t buy everything at once. It’s just that eventually I got them all, and I think you should focus on what’s a priority for you now and what can help you get things done. And if you think a Mac can do that because of the battery life, you can do what you please.
The good thing is Linux is a good privacy-focused system. Macs can be as good if you know how to harden them.
I think using SearXNG is better; you can tweak it to your liking and just dig the internet like we used to do before COVID-19.
Pick an instance, or run it locally. It’s up to you.
