I'm going to write a lot more about this in the coming days but the most important takeaway from my first few days of switching my main development machine to Linux (Pop!_OS 18.04)?
I. Do. Not. Miss. The. Mac. One. Bit.
Everything Just Works (tm), including my USB-C-only LG external monitor (which doesn't even work with Laura's older MacBook Pro), Magic Trackpad, etc. And there are things I actually enjoy more about the experience. Never thought I'd be writing this about Linux. Exciting times!
@aral we live in a bizzaro world. Moving from a mac to linux and the impression is 'wow, things just work'.
Wasn't that supposed to be the impression going the other way?
@inmysocks Dont' get me wrong, things just work in Appleland too, of course. But that wasn't my experience until the latest Gnome shell/18.04 in Linux world.
I haven't felt this excited about dev since I switched to Mac. I want to try and make every bit of it even better :)

We'd be happy to have you help us make GNOME (on which Pop OS is based) better. 
@mathieu @inmysocks Thanks, Mathieu, that's my goal too.
I'm currently just getting set up & already started marking some todos of issues to file, etc., but mostly I want to take a little time to really get a feel for things. Also looking into GJS (how fucking amazing is that?) and into the various projects.
I have to say, Gnome shell is hugely impressive and I feel it's time those of us who understand that experience, not ideology will win this start combining our efforts behind it :)
