Haha sadly I am a all in or nothing kind of a person. I have a Thinkpad X1E and Macbook pro m2. If I decide Linux then I will go complete anti-Apple denounce my Apple devices and same for if I chose for Apple :P. Maybe that is where I am ha

Macbook Air is 999$ 16G RAM and 256Gb. I think if you look at the competition you would be right about the same territory but with better battery, perf of M silicon chip. For that price I think it is really hard to beat Apple. But once you

One thing I think macos is better is connecting to high resolution monitors without issues. My attempts to connect my thinkpad x1e to 5k (could be the dreaded nvidia which is causing this) causes so much headache.

ah my bad. I didn't realize that gogs was a single maintainer management model.
