The only motivation for me to own Apple hardware in 2021 is the ability to use FOSS software in the natural habitat of Linux.
I don't trust Apple's software and "ideas" of computing at all. Just another big company with data gathering ambitions.
After Catalina MacOs is a total joke.

So let's hope that running Linux on M cips will be possible, soon.

The security changes (like kernel extensions, some paths, etc) and deprecations (32-bit apps), that broke some of the software/devices I had, were already present in Catalina. What damning difference do you see in Big Sur and Monterey?
