My justification for this is that Apple will likely drop support for my iMac Pro next year, and so EOL will be reached in ~2026. It’s not an M1 Mac, though. I think macOS is better than Windows, but not as good as GNOME. That’s probably an unpopular opinion 🙂
Sadly, I would still need After Effects regularly and inDesign on rare occasions. We weren’t able or willing to shift our workflow from inDesign to Affinity Publisher. And I have yet to learn Natron well enough to replicate what I need to do in After Effects. I can only hope running Affinity Photo in WINE will be realistic in 2026…and honestly, that prospect isn’t looking bad at all.
Oh that’s cool! Might even consider using Asahi. I’d have to justify it… somehow. MacOS is pretty good already!

Honestly the hate against MacOS developers is kinda unfair. Its a great OS!
The only thing I miss is tiling window managers (i3, bspwm, awesome, xmonad etc), but its not enough to make me leave MacOS…
