2 2  How to get away from Big Tech? Well, I don't want to get rid of everything at once. I'm a big Linux fan, but because of photo editing software (no, I'm not using Adobe software!) and music recording software, my MacBook Pro will stay for a while. For those who say "you can use this or that software program," the answer is no.
