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, so if you know of any great guides for Mac users, I’d greatly appreciate it!
Edit: you have all been very useful. I now know a bit more how to start and what it would mean to switch!


Its really quite easy, if you own an intel mac, just install debian on it, maybe carry some data over, if you must. I would recommend a usb stick. Install a good looking desktop environment, and look up a few starter tutorials. Easy, and quick. Linux isnt hard at all, if you dont want it to be.
I couldn’t get trackpad gestures working on an Intel Mac. Tried both Ubuntu and Elementary
It worked perfectly out of the box with Fedora on a MacBook Pro 2012.
But I guess every MacBook generation has its little problems with Linux.
Mine is with the wifi going away once a year…
You should be able to find drivers pretty easy, since macbooks are very widely used.
