Leaving the Apple ecosystem behind

TLDR;. I realised that my life while using Apple products is controlled by Product Managers/Owners who want to get a raise, rather than by technology people who share the same passion as me. Never open, never as powerful, no API. "In 2018, I started a new gig as a freelancer and more and more macOS was an obstacle rather than a tool which empowered me. So I bought a Thinkpad, installed Arch on it with a tiling window manager and I was immedietely more productive. My latest company which hired me however mandated a company MacBook, and since it was a 2019 16", I sold my Thinkpad, hoping I can get back on the Apple train. "But using an iPad, iPhone, MacBook Pro 16", an Apple TV and AirPods Pro I felt more and more constrained by my choices. Apple Music didn't let me own and control my own Music, the Files app didn't let me delete App folders I didn't want or let me easily browse through the files. Apple forgot to built in tools for the other half of my time. More and more power tools got deleted, options removed and each choice put you more in control of Apples services. Stopped using Apple Music and bought Albums on Bandcamp.
