I'm feeling pretty stuck in the Apple Ecosystem, so I'm thinking about making a change too. I've used Ubuntu on and off through the years and I'm thinking about going to it permanently, it's not much different from macOS, just... kinda ugly in comparison (in my opinion). For about $3k you can get a Kudu (with Ubuntu, people say any Linux distro would work though) from System76, with full support and everything, which I would value since I'm not knowledgeable enough with Ubuntu to feel comfortable diving into it and still being productive on my own. But it's just a Cleo rebrand which you could build on your own too for less than $3k. If my budget were the same, that's what I would go with. I might also just get a slightly newer Mac off eBay too though. When you're used to using something, if you don't feel like it's broke... Nothing to fix!
