Less maintenance on my own kit after spending a day maintaining some else’s kit.

Linux userspace is utter chaos. When I’m pricing out lumber or other personal projects, I don’t want that held up by any number of fresh in memory Linux what-the-fresh-hell-is-this moments.

That is it. Will pay nearly whatever Apple commands to avoid having my personal (desktop) time invaded by Linux and the never ending reinventing solved problems and discovering new ones.

Upside though, Linux by now may actually have an even dozen of methods to configure a wired ethernet device. I quit counting.
