I think it won't be terrible as Mac and Linux share a common ancestor. A fair bit will feel familiar, but it is fundamentally different in some regards. The Finder system may confuse you for example. But it sounds like you don't really use it for much, in which case, I don't think you will run into issues. It will probably require less tinkering than Linux. But at that point, if all you need is a browser, why not just get a Chromebook? If you really want Apple though, the Neo would be perfect for you. You are the target audience.

So if I'm following this right... Let's replace the term Zionist with Nazi.
Person 1 says "Nazis deserve to be murdered." Person 2 spouts rhetoric that sounds very Nazi-like. Person 2 gets called a Nazi. Person 2 now goes on a campaign saying that they're receiving death threats because of the transitive property and makes the nuclear move of defederating.
Is that what's happening here with Kaplan?
As someone who is brand new to the whole Fediverse and Lemmy and all of that, I am rapidly trying to piece together what's happened/happening here. If a kind soul would help me with some context that would be phenomenal. I know .world is like, THE biggest instance that hosts very large communities, but I am not sure what exactly is happening with the instance as a whole, or what we are wanting to happen to it.
Also, for reference, you won't really have an issue switching between everything. I work on Windows, have a Linux server, my personal machine is Linux, and I have a Mac for all my on the go work. I have an iPhone because it is convenient for me, and I know how to work with it rather than against it, but I was an android user for many, many years before I got sick of Google everything.
