This has been one of the most surprising developments of late, given DHH's and Rails devs historical preferences for Apple products. I'd love to see some stats on the impact of this change.

After many years using Ubuntu, I migrated to Omarchy this weekend (Arch Linux + Hyperlnd, a tiling window-manager). Looking great so far!

I don't think it's a DHH thing. I've been all on Apple for almost 20 years, but plan to make the leap to Linux in the next 6 to 9 months. Apple doesn't feel like the same company they used to be. Is that just perception? I don't know, but the fact that I can't delete the News or Messages apps is ridiculous.

I think a lot of people are sick of supporting poopy companies.

Same here. Also moving from iOS to GrapheneOS (writing this on a GrapheneOS Pixel Tab instead of my usual iPad Pro).

What annoys me most is how they keep hiding the address bar everywhere so I don't know the location of my files anymore. As a developer, this drives me insane.

Likewise. Used Macs for 20 years, and then switched to Linux (and the Framework laptop) about a year ago. Zero regrets.

After 6 years using Linux I've made my way back to Mac. Mac just has better software, things are more seamless
