I'm already compiling a list of tasks for that, starting at gettting my #Rustlang pwget util able to handle write operations on ps2wafeV3 DBs, then figuring out why #tmux is munging wide utf-8 characters, and then on to whatever drivers I'll need to touch up to get the M1 usable as a daily driver (if any?).
Decided that I'll limit several sources of content, youtube, patreon, podcasts to my phone or AppleTV for now, makes it an easier leap. The M1 will always be dual boot.
To keep my setups in sync, I previously used #nix. I had a single flake that would produce nix-darwin or nixos systems and home-manager modules. That required gigs of disk space, and the declarative power came with several layers of abstraction to learn and debug.
All of this leads me to unwinding a decade of Apple patronage. My mind if just calmer, my soul happier, with text and a ps auxww where I know every process, and have read large parts of it's code and man pages in the last couple decades.
It all let's me focus on the "problem domain" that interests me most -- connecting with humans, collaborating, and mutating our brains together.
My parting shot, err, question. What is it holding you back? And what if you didn't have to make some clean break, or declare some purity, but just make it a game, an experiment, an art project?
