I'll say it again: I want to buy one of these. They're awesome (from what I've seen). It'd be my Linux laptop. But I'm a Mac guy and after the novelty wore off, it'd go unused. Still, if Apple fucks up their OS enough, this will be my escape hatch.

You might want to experiment with Ubuntu some day. It can be installed to a Mac if you have one lying around, and the default Ubuntu experience is surprisingly Mac-like.

I have spare computer hardware and I've installed Ubuntu, Fedora, and Asahi. I like them. Not enough to switch, but maybe if Apple keeps letting their software decline.

Just really really bad at being able to fix or upgrade said hardware for literally no reason (aside from money of course). Which is a shame since yes physically nice the hardware is in plenty of ways.
