What are my daily drivers

Why the hell am I running MacOS ?

Here is something quite controversial : I find Mac better than most laptops out there.

I know this is quite a controversial statement but, after having struggled for hours trying to make WSL work along with both mosh and my Yubikey, I basically gave up.

Though I'm still and I will always be a Linux enjoyer, you can't deny that both Mac as a piece of hardware and MacOS as an OS get the job done.

Here are the key points:

• It enables you to access the Office Suite (I know, OSS alternatives, have you ever managed to setup a Microsoft Exchange Email Client on any other app than Outlook ? I did not.)
• It natively takes advantages of it's ARM CPU architecture, offering substantially better battery performance than any x86 machine while remaining light and thin.
• MacOS as a BSD derivative is actually quite close to Linux in a daily usage. Though you might not have access to some of ps obscure flags, the ability to install GNU Core Utils and to use those, only by prefixing your command with g (gls, gcat,gcp and even gchroot) is actually pretty great.
• Mac is the only option if you need substantial amounts of RAM for both GPU and CPU usage.
• brew is really convenient, trust me.

Ipad is great for maths
