Some of those things would be nice, sure, but it comes down to the question of whether they're worth trading for using a computing platform tightly controlled by single corporation.
macOS is a deal-breaker for me, whether I use it in a cubicle or on a boat.
So the only alternative is Asahi Linux, which has its own set of drawbacks.
Clearly we must have different priorities, which is fine. Just don't think that yours are somehow superior to mine.
- pmarreck 2y agoI own a Framework NixOS laptop (the newest one), a System76 Thelio NixOS beast (ryzen threadripper), and various Apple stuff. (And a Prometheus XVII Windows gaming laptop and an M1 MBP that I'm selling on eBay right now.) So I completely get where you're coming from, because it's not a mutually-exclusive thing with me. As a software dev, I love open-source stuff! I did just order the M4 Max Macbook Pro with maxed-out specs though, because I like to work on locally-running machine-learning stuff
