That sounds somewhat resonant. I'd be really curious as to what insights you had or choices you made; considering the same type of switch. Did you ever write anything up on the journey or find any particular resources useful?
Not really. I've played it safe by buying a Linux desktop box in addition to my MacBook. elementary OS was fun (esp. the Daily build) because so many things can be fixed on an evening by sending a small PR, and they also receive support from the Touchégg developer now for better trackpad gestures. But I never managed to treat Linux as more than a thin shell around my IntelliJ IDE.
