You have to decide if freedom is more important to you than convenience or paper-thin aesthetics.

That's really just about it.

Sorry if I'm not putting it super tactfully. I was a fanboy in my day, but it was a lot easier to be an Apple fanboy in 1989 or 2009 than today, now that they're just an overrated, overpriced, overhyped fashion brand with fascist leanings.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

If you don't have any experience running a free(dom) OS on your computer(s), then I can recommend something like Fedora or MX Linux as a great starting point, although I'm partial to #Debian. Getting FreeBSD going takes a little bit of work, although I wouldn't call it particularly hard. It's just some #RTFM :)

Again, I don't mean to be belligerent or demeaning. I'm just a bit further along on my journey and I have a hard time hiding my disdain for Apple anymore. I was a huge Apple fan for most of my life, so it's definitely a love-to-hate kinda thing. The mystical wave function of Apple's hype machine collapsed after dazzling my eyes for 30 years, and all I was left with was a solitary particle of bullcrap. XD

Pleases feel free to holler if you need any help or suggestions. I'm here for it. 😊
