I would have blindly have voted for Lenovo. Until this year, when (out of technical curiosity) I got an M1 powered Macbook. I use MacOS, but I also need Linux all the time. So I installed Ubuntu on Parallels - and it is amazingly fast, capable and integrated with MacOS. So - my heart wants to have a pure Open Source powered computer. But in practice, this little machine with its infinite battery and mind blowing speed does it all.

As someone who has been on the Linux camp all along, what will I lose, software-wise, if I change to using M1-based Macbook Pro, if a) I just use MacOS b) I use Ubuntu or Debian on Parallels, say, compared to running Ubuntu on a Thinkpad? Hardware-wise, I think the biggest hurdle for me would be the anemic lack of ports compared to most non-Apple laptops.
