My Tech Setup

I am trying to get away from Windows ecosystem to get rid of the frequent management of my workflow and several constraints that I have put on myself on the choices of app and workflows as I needed them to be align with my cross-platform setup. So I am going to be relying more on the MacOS and Apple ecosystem.
