@jalefkowit @glyph @aeva Thanks! I just wonder that after dealing with only Apple products most of my life that it would take a lot of work to get to a point where I could learn to use Linux. I'm not afraid of the opening the terminal, but it would take a lot to even get me to that point

@Star12Mt @glyph @aeva I would say it would probably be easier than you think. Modern Linux is much more polished than it used to be. Its reputation as a kind of Rube Goldberg machine is somewhat out of date.
That being said, Linux is definitely different than Mac, and part of that is the terminal. It's just more central to the Linux experience than it is on the Mac.
Linux is free though, so if you have an old computer (even an old Mac) lying around, my advice is throw Linux on that machine and try it! See how it works for you before you commit to it.

@jalefkowit @Star12Mt @glyph I would not say that the degree of Rube Goldbergness is overstated so much as highly dependent on what hardware you try to run it on. My instance admin has a live thread going on his adventures giving Fedora a try and having a working Nvidia GPU still requires doing a double reach around https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@aras/115422191675726692
I do not have this problem though because I've only used intel GPUs on Linux since 2012 and those Just Work correctly out of the box.

@jalefkowit @Star12Mt @glyph Star12Mt if you are potentially interested in running Linux on recent apple hardware, the asahi linux people have led me to believe that asahi linux is what one might call "good" https://asahilinux.org/
