> What's especially stuck in my mind lately is how insecure basically all desktop OS' feel.

I ended up switching away from using my Mac to using an iPad M5 + Magic Keyboard as my sole computing device for the security benefits, and it’s been working pretty well and in retrospect I don’t miss anything from macOS aside from a chromium-based browser. However I’ve said it before that switching back to using a Mac after using iPadOS for so long feels like a serious regression, for all it’s faults the iPad + iPadOS feels like a futuristic technology preview of macOS.

For development work I use GitHub Codespaces (and self-host Coder in the future hopefully). I was moving towards cloud/container-based development already and it works nicely. Plus NPM vulnerabilities are no longer a serious issue. Again the only thing I miss is Chromium, but I’ve altered front-end development planning to target Safari/Firefox since websites shouldn’t be implementing non-standard Chrome-exclusive features anyway imo (I’m saying this as someone who highly prefers chromium lol).
