I appreciate the clean interface and the relatively chill vibe. Regardless of what happens with reddit I think I’ll be hanging out and enjoying the communities.

Perhaps you shouldn’t. Any honest Linux user will tell you up front if that if you have a comfortable system already it may not be worth the disruption in your workflow while dealing with the learning curve. That being said, being free from the whims of Apple is a nice feeling.
