[Linux] Decision to go back to macOS

Constant rebooting after shutting down Linux is very cumbersome. 

Most things I do on macbook are web browsing and reading pdfs.

I just decided to go back to macOS for stability.

Although macOS Tahoe is very slow and annoying, Tahoe will be supported for 2 years from this moment, I guess.

Until it is inevitable to use Linux, I should stick to macOS and use macports.

 

Pros that I expected for Linux on macbook pro:

- Using proton for steam games.

- The system under my control.

- Faster UI response than macOS Tahoe.

 

After using Linux on macbook pro a while, I discovered the following cons.

- Unstable system. Rebooting after shutting down is so random that I cannot predict it.

- Unstable bluetooth mouse connection.

- Macbook pro is not for gaming even if it has Radeon graphics card. Also, in Linux, power control for Radeon graphics is miserable.

- Switching internal graphics and external graphics is not automatically done. Additional unstability presents here.

- Again, the power control. Even if I set things I can do at this moment for power consumption, Apple's specialized care for their product cannot be defeated.

 

It was worth to try Linux on macbook pro, though.

It was fun to try to stabilize the system.

Experiencing this kind of stuffs is my primary reason to use Linux and love it.

 

I write some battery cycles log here.
