   @m2m @jp

   I am on this journey too!

   I just put a computer on my credit card, for the princely sum of £72 I have a old 2013 Macbook Air on it's way to me!

   It's not anything too powerful, but it will be enough to do email and web with an up to date Linux installation on it.

   It will solve a myriad of problems for me, and mean I can take my Macbook Pro offline to keep as a creative machine - it's perfect right now for that so want to preserve it!!

     @jp I’m on a similar path. Just outlined a mid-long term plan. I think there’s no way back.

     With so many corporate leaders starting to get weird with the whole "Kiss the Mango Ring" shtick, I'm finding myself leaning far away from the corporate backed computing solutions. It's going to take a little while to solve all my computing needs this way, but perhaps this was the kick I needed to knock some sense in my head.

     So, thank you Tim Cook et al

     I thought so too, but the latest Apple bombshells are pushing me hard, I can feel each tick of the clock to doomsday like a rod over my back!

     Every cell in my body is screaming "NOW, do it now!!! Before it's too late!!"

     Totally fair enough, it's all about priorities isn't it!

     For me, the major expense is the investment in the hardware and Ableton + various other music production tools.

     I just can't afford to lose that, and they are so desperate to take it!

     edit: the thought of an AI infection in my music making - no! Just no!
