iTerm2 is is the main thing holding you back? Give tilix a try and you will forget all about iTerm2 https://gnunn1.github.io/tilix-web/ Then you can also enjoy: - running containers natively without a clunky VM - KVM virtualization - say goodbye to virtualbox - middle-click paste - sounds odd but is really intuitive - infinite desktop customization - level up your linux skills - nothing does this faster than running…

I'd add: - being permitted to choose your own hardware. And even (heaven forfend) repair it.

Missed opportunity to call it Beer, which would have paired very nicely with Wine

Might as well call it Cheese then.

Perfect timing for me. Macbook Pro 2017 logic board died and can't get it in for repair due to shutdowns. So installed Linux Mint on Thinkpad T420. This will help me a lot, I'd be pleased if I could make a permanent shift from Mac. Is this something Apple is likely to try and break constantly with software updates?

And most importantly (to me), does Adobe Lightroom, Premiere and Photoshop run under this? Frankly, those are about the last pieces of desktop software that prevent me to switch to Linux.

I'm able to do almost everything I need to with Darktable, Kdenlive, and GIMP.

A lot of software doesn't have a GUI, even on macOS?

Most command line software have been ported to many operating systems or are trivial to port.
