Last night I was feeling discouraged about the fact that (as I've been posting frequently) #Ubuntu is not fixing a critical security vulnerability in a timely manner. I decided I need to stop using my personal Linux laptop for now, and use my personal Mac instead.

In general I want to move off of Mac to Linux. But I'm not yet ready to become a Linux expert to switch to a challenging-to-maintain distro. Maybe someday.

I realized that in order to optimally focus on digital privacy and security, I'm not always going to live on an ivory tower. Yes, I want to get off Mac. But it's okay if I need to be on it sometimes while my Linux distro is struggling, at least until if and when I switch to another someday. It's not a compromise of my principles; it's pragmatism.
