Is there any way to set up windows / *nix environment with the ease of use features that OS X has? I'm migrating from a MacBook to a Thinkpad and I would like to keep some of the nicer features of my current platform.

Things like KeyChain (and in general the security features of OS X), The multi-touch features (swiping between desktops is pretty nice), and in general the intuitive 'flow' for developing feels very smooth on my current machine, so if there were some kind of repo or package manager for exclusively high-quality free software, it would pretty much make my day to get a link.

*nix stuff would be preferred over Windows, but if the setup is nice enough I would be willing to make that sacrifice.

macOS has more good free software than Windows does. 90% of Windows 'programs' are the 8000th copy of a disk defrag utility or some shit. There's barely any quality in Windows world.

Either get cygwin use the Unix subsystem for Windows.

Windows is notorious for its noncompliancy toward Unix and POSIX in general

Password manager of your choice (pass, or something fancier);

Pretty sure macos are best in businesses with all the touchpad stuff.

Anyway, just look for alternatives or native versions of software you are currently using on your macos machine.

You can install WSL on Windows 10 which gets you bash and any utilities that could be built on Ubuntu. You could also run an x server if desired.

It's not free if you have to purchase a Mac to get it.

Most WMs use ctrl-alt-arrows for going between workspaces and it feels great. Holding shift will move the current window with you.

Your dumpster find T60 isn't free because you need to run it off the mains in your basement. Electricity costs your mother money.

Get full set of KDE apps. You will have all you need. It may be sometimes unstable though.

If you don't understand that OS X is an OS with a fuck ton of really nice features you're retarded.

Free in the technical sense of the term (open source) for my new, not mac-os computer.
