I have been a long term linux user, tried an M1 macbook air recently and actually switched back to linux (a 13" razer blade stealth). I found the linux laptop to actually be faster, more responsive, have better software for me (plenty of free alternatives that are Good Enough for my purposes, also it's linux and my servers run linux, so no weird OS crossover issues). To my incredible surprise, I actually feel that the linux laptop's trackpad works better than the one on the macbook! This was one of the big reasons I wanted to switch back to a macbook and I was extremely disappointed with the results. I was having serious issues even just selecting text with the trackpad on the macbook air. The author notes a 2-3 second delay in DNS lookups - I'm actually having that problem with my macbook, and not with my linux laptop, and I have no idea what weird Apple goop is causing it or how to fix it. To each their own I guess. I tried the new macbooks because of what everyone has been saying but was pretty disappointed in the experience, so much so that I was wondering if my macbook air was damaged somehow. The battery life was solid, though.
