About Mac installation and performance

Hi. First of all, I’m not a tech guy. I’m just a musician making his projects with Ardour for some years on Ubuntu Studio in a PC. I’m thinking about upgrading my computer in a near future, and wondering if would be a wise movement to change to Apple devices. I’d like to know if is easy to install Ardour straightaway on a Mac laptop, with no much technical tweaking. And if the performance is stable and nice as well as with linux-based systems. Sorry if I’ve commited some grammatical errors. English is not my native lenguaje.
Cheers

Honestly yes in most cases, though the most recent Mac OS versions have caused some oddities again with audio devices where, for instance, some of the machines in the lab I teach in are showing two sets of outputs in Mixbus, and the second set is what is actually used, so each of my students are having to change outputs again. Overall very good experience, just every now and then you run into Apple stupidity. No need to worry about setting up realtime permissions by default etc. though like you do on Linux.

This isn’t to knock on Linux by the way, just to answer the question asked. I actually preferred tweaking things on Linux, but had to move to Mac full time for various reasons, plugins being a part of it, but I use a lot of specialized software there isn’t an open source or linux compatible equivalent as well so it just made sense in my case.

Right, this is one of the reasons why I’m pondering the option of swapping to Mac. Thankfully there are some people developing plugins for Linux, like Robin, the LSP team, DrumGizmo team, etc… But there are great limitations if you work in a Linux OS, mainly with quality virtual instruments.
I appreciate your opinion. Thanks
