A year ago I bought my first Macbook after using Linux as my default for years. I was tired of declining hardware quality from Thinkpad and I kept having to replace them. I also was interested in the M1's battery life and bright screen for doing more work outside. There was also a shortage of builds using new Ryzens that were competitive at the time, so the Apple premium wasn't really that much more.
I just really haven't used it much beyond casual use cases (streaming/web). The main, and maybe dumb, reason is that it's been a lot of work to get the keymap to function. I still use Windows/Linux, and relearning everything after having used Emacs layouts for 10+ years just isn't going to work for me. Some of the desktop/windows management stuff also feels clunky as well.
I like the hardware quality and everything looks nice, but it might be my last.
