If Apple would cooperate just a tiny bit, I assume the Linux community would gladly do all the rest for them. The M1 Macbooks are actually quite reasonably priced IMO. Right now it's even hard to find an AMD Ryzen 4000 laptop with >FHD screens... If you get Linux developers onto your platform, you unlock the server market, I assume. I don't get why Apple would not open that possibility for their silicon future. I think a downside to have Macs running Linux would be extended hardware support and evasion of their obsolescence strategies. Overall, I think they could win a lot, so there is a desperate hope they change their minds on that. At least, I would be completely lost on them, if AMD manages to match their performance and there gonna be well-screened AMD laptops. Apple, you got this current advantage to win people like me over. Once the others catch up, this opportunity will probably not arise again, as I will never ever settle on MacOS or Windows, especially with the current course of increasingly restricting how I could use a >1.5k€ device. If the M1 Air had proper Linux support (at least committed), I would buy right now in an instant. I naively believe, if you don't get Linux people like me, Apple's silicon endeavour will not get a hold in the larger CPU/GPU market.
