# Manually make all the appropriate directories and set permissions # Curl down the latest tarball and install to /usr/localĬurl -L | tar xz -strip 1 -C /usr/local I had no trouble with AndroidUSB, just install it and it behaves just like another filesystem program. To add on the author's list, the biggest issue I have is with external USBs, I like having them encrypted for backups and there doesn't seem to be an easy way to do that with mac. However overall I've found them to be a lot more similar than dissimilar to my surprise, swapping from one to another as a normal everyday JS dev is fairly trivial. Drivers all work very well, it's like they built them on purpose for their hardware (!). I want to try Asahi Linux when it comes out stable though! Some will say it's fair to compare them some won't, so I'll leave that up to you but summarize them all in this point. A lot more hardware stuff with the M1 Macbook Air, like the amazing touchpad, keyboard (in new models), etc.

(unfair?) 10+ hours of real-world battery usage, in Linux I could often get half of the advertised 5-6h battery life from the PCs if lucky Upgrading the OS to a major version without worrying if I'll be able to boot next time.

For example the 'CPU indicator' (iStat) I have in mac is an order of magnitude better, same as VPN tool, etc. The visual quality of the programs in Mac is generally a lot higher, and humans do like aesthetic visuals. I am a fairly heavy user of Kap and I love the interface, so this is probably the biggest differentiator for me. Cannot run a bunch of programs that stay on the topbar, like LINE ( ), Kap ( ), etc. I'll start with things that I'm happy to have in mac that didn't have in Linux :)
