WhatA managed migration service and curated Linux workstation stack that replicates macOS creative and dev workflows on Linux hardware, including app equivalents, peripheral compatibility, and ongoing support.
SignalMultiple commenters express that Apple has been slowly abandoning professional workstation users for years, and now that the Mac Pro is officially dead, many are resigned to migrating to Linux or Windows but dread the friction of switching ecosystems.
Why NowThe Mac Pro discontinuation is a forcing function — pro users who held on hoping Apple would recommit now have no choice, and Linux desktop maturity (Wayland, DaVinci Resolve, Blender) has reached a tipping point for creative work.
MarketCreative professionals and developers leaving macOS; tens of thousands of studios and freelancers. Puget Systems sells workstations but doesn't offer Mac-to-Linux migration. ~$200M addressable in services + hardware.
MoatAccumulating a proprietary compatibility database of Mac-equivalent workflows, peripherals, and configurations creates a knowledge moat that deepens with every migration completed.
