Hi, I’m learning python and I have purchased a 2015 MacBook air. I want to install Linux on it (Ubuntu) but my friend who’s a developer told me to leave the MacOs because they are similar as operative systems. What do you think? Should I change the os and switch to Linux? Thanks. Edit: thank you for your replies. There are still so many things I don’t understand about programming and os, sorry about that.

    Hm, not sure about that tbh.

    Fedora is a nice base but has the missing codec problem and their silly fedora flatpak remote. Ublue fixes that.

    So

    1. Use the fedora installer and install Silverblue
    2. Rebase to ublue unsigned
    3. Rebase to ublue signed

    Done. From them on just go to the GUI store and install apps.

    Not everything there is well integrated like toolbox, so you will need the terminal for now.

          Yeah, but Ubuntu has had non-free codecs and drivers in their repos for decades, that’s not new, Fedora just recently found a way to stop shooting themselves in the foot.

              So? I still don’t get what any of this has to do with Linux being easy for a long while.
