MODERATORS
If your talking about giving up on Asahi because Apple isn't playing nice ... Yeah, I wouldn't hold your breath on that one. The reason Linux worked on m1 and m2 is because Apple didn't care, not because they wanted to be compatible; and now that their hardware is incompatible, they still don't care.
Framework is also good. I think some other companies also treat Linux as a first class citizen. Even Dell will sell Linux supported laptops, or at least has before.
Personally, the idea of "extending the life" by installing Linux is foreign to me because I immediately put Linux on any hardware I get anyway. Treating Linux as the goal instead of the last resort makes for a much more acclimated environment.
Well, that's still sort of extending it past 0, so...
macOS is a good OS that just works, say what you want about Apple but this is true for my usecase. I forgot about Dell, that was my go-to when I was using Windows.
I can talk plenty of shit about Apple and MacOS, but I did neither in my previous post. If your use case is not Linux then stick with not-Linux.
If all you're comparing it to is Windows then yeah, I guess.
Framework is some sort of a trap. They are not really durable and practicle for average user for sure. No idea about other models, but FW16 was quite hot and throttling, despite clean fans and replaced thermalpastes. 100*C is normal for it. Not to mention that it costs quite a lot...
