It’s funny. I’m at the same point. I want to move out the Apple ecosystem but it is so simple.
I thought about to leave iCloud and install my own nextCloud instance.
I look forward to your decision. Maybe it’s an inspiration to me. 🙂

This time around it’s a Mac Mini, but I’ll likely get a Linux box this summer to and start going down the path of making my work platform agnostic. Yup, I’ll do videos and write about it.
Linux has some distinct philosophical/engineering advantages and the Apple ecosystem can suck (especially if you’ve changed your email address and had to try to re-register in the itunes/icloud quagmire that produces) BUT STILL, the Apple machines and the Apple ecosystem is a full-on platform of services with more rigor and fewer hassles than anything else. As for the new Mac Mini… If you have been going without a desktop machine for a few years and have been relying only on a mid2013 Macbook Air… a 6-core i7, 32GB, 1TB Mac Mini seems like heaven! I love it.
I’m totally dealing with my AppStore email and my iCloud email being different and having my AppStore downloads “corrupt” right as soon as I download them.
I ended up with the i5 machine and will swap in for 32GB of RAM next month.
