Yup. I've used Linux for a couple decades of writing python and Java. I've gone from dwm to wmii to i3. Latest gig gave me an M1 macbook, and I tried to use it... 6mo later I ask for and received a replacement linux box. Reasons?

* keybinds - why is it impossible to remap anything with their special meta key? * task switching - alt-tab/cmd-tab/whatever treats full-screen apps different than non-fs apps, unless you find and install an app to fix just this one thing * WM - I'm a tiling wm fan, and nothing came close to the usability of i3 * docker - x86 docker hosts are defacto standard and it's a pain to double/multi build every container for M1 as well as x86

I'd complain about the keyboard but I mostly use an external one so no big deal.

Linux support on the latest Dell hasn't been all roses; the wifi is still only about 80-90% stable after long (12+) hours of inactivity, and the touchpad driver spammed interrupts or something enough to crash the kernel (but the touchscreen driver is pretty stable, so I just disabled the touchpad).

Still, I can get a lot more done when I'm in control.
