I severely doubt apples arm processor will trouble an i7/i9 for a while. Why buy a mac at all? Get a cheap ubuntu laptop and move back into mac once it's settled down. I did this debate recently and went with the mac, but only because work are paying for it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered.

Slightly off topic, but i7/i9 is in trouble right now against AMD Ryzen chips. Laptops with Ryzen 7 4000H series CPUs are faster and cheaper than top of the line Intel chips.

  Oh totally, I'm pondering going desktop at home and if I did I would 100% go Ryzen 7/9

Or maybe just wait until Linux on the desktop works properly. It should happen any year/decade now.

  >Linux on the desktop works properly What are your problem's? Even my FreeBSD runs better then "properly" (desktop-wise) on my Workstation, and BSD's are not known to be a Desktop-centric OS.

  It works fine. It just looks awful after using MacOS for too long.
