  I tried to love my work issued m4 pro for many months but couldn't stand macOS so asked for a linux compatible machine.

    Yeah for a lot of us macOS really gets in the way of using the otherwise excellent hardware. My daily driver is an M1 Pro with Asahi and it's easily my favorite computer ever. It's a real shame that the newer M models can't run Linux.

    Out of curiosity what do you need to do with the OS that you can't on MacOS? Ive always found Linux too ugly looking to use and in terms of functionalities I'm not sure what I'm missing in MacOS

      It's about friction. Examples: Docker on Linux is miles better and efficient. Window management and Desktop environment on Linux is whatever I want it to be. Open source gives me freedom: I (LLMs) can investigate/fix/change anything since it's all opensource. Don't like round borders? Easy. Want to fix a bug or improve a behaviour? Not impossible, often easy.
