I've been running Linux since forever, and had an investment in Apple hardware since even longer.
I've not used any laptop but an Apple since 2000, but consider Linux to be my primary professional realm.
MacOS has been a 'decent front-end', but more and more the only love I have for it is physical.
As soon as I can find a Linux laptop from a non-Apple vendor that feels as good to wake up to in bed, I'll ditch the Macbooks and switch.
The trouble is, the physicality of the experience is important. A slab of metal is friendlier than a chunk of solid petroleum-based product.
I do have a GPD Pocket, which fulfills the needs, and is indeed a great little computer .. if they rise to the challenge of building a bigger system while maintaining the language of their metal milled cases, I could consider very little need, indeed, for a continued investment in Apple.

I've been using both MBPs and T-series Thinkpads for the past five years. I really want to love the Thinkpad (beyond the keyboard) but the physical experience is night and day.
