I'm a former desktop linux user, and manage Linux servers at work. I've tried everything from Ubuntu to Arch to Gentoo; Linux on the desktop just is nowhere near the level of software polish that you get from Apple, let alone the excellent hardware that is my M1 MacBook. I understand that in theory there's a major difference in privacy, but honestly speaking, do you really think it makes a difference? I'm going to use the internet anyway, and if an idiot like me can think up a million ways to bypass tracking protection from my browser / ad blocker, do you
really think using your fancy tracking-free distro makes any change besides giving you a more unique useragent?
Either way, I use a smartphone which is going to be Apple or Google which voids all of this anyway
