I’m on board that we need to become independent from big tech. As someone who is fond of the Mac user experience, from choosing hardware to how you navigate through apps, I need a guide to make the switch.

    This is really useful. I don’t use Apple Music, but the gestures and preview do sound like something to get used to. Why is there no third party preview? Seems like a pretty basic program to have.

      I’m not from mac land, so I don’t know how much Preview does. I’ll comment on how its done in PC land.

      • PDF’s have been handled by web browsers for a while now. Firefox will open and offer basic editing capabilities. Comes pre-installed on most distros.
      • Images are handled by the DE’s default image previewer which usually has rudimentary editing capabilities. Installed by default.

      Or you can get other apps that handle PDF’s and images.
      Switching to linux means switching to other applications. You aren’t getting Preview and you aren’t getting Safari. You get other software that does the same things.
