    Lol, this is a new perspective for me. I don’t dislike macOS, but would like to have Linux 100x more. Customizable and no vendor lock in. Although higher battery usage, probably. I love the MacBook for its build quality, the touchpad and the screen. But macOS, it’s just there. I don’t mind it, as it’s rather open and UNIX based, but I’d rather have Linux.

    What do you specifically like about macOS in comparison to Linux? And sorry if I sound rude, I think I do, but I mean I’m curious and have a strong opinion.

    i always think it’s ridiculous to just use an ISO manipulated by some third party people. at least last time when i quickly googled it, it was intransparent as hell. not only weren’t i able to see the full extent of changes, but also it was published by some rando in the internet. i don’t think anyone should seriously consider using it.







  • Tbh I think the official Ubuntu should be a good choice for that. GNOME should work pretty well with a touchscreen, at least last time I checked. Also, even on some lower spec hardware it should be fast enough.

    I think that, if your tablet is actually from post-2010, your processor should definitely be capable of x64 (you specifically wrote x86). But maybe you also just used x86 as a general term for like x86-x64 CPUs.

    Maybe it would help to tell us your specific CPU model and maybe RAM, just to be safe.

    Actually Office on Wine is in a pretty usable state so maybe you could give it a try. What does not work (or didn’t work the last time I tried, like 2 years ago), was the connection to OneDrive and stuff. So you couldn’t work collaboratively.

    But otherwise everything worked just fine, just as it did on Windows. One more caveat though, VBA is not available in Excel, in case you need that.
