I have an M1 Macbook Air (under half price secondhand thanks to a superficial dent on a corner) and while I agree I love having such powerful hardware that sips battery so sparingly, MacOS can go eat a whole bag of stale dicks. Homebrew makes it... tolerable, but I'm holding out hope for that new Qualcomm ARM laptop - the recent benchmarks beat Apple's chips handily.

What do you hate about macOS? From my perspective, it beats out Windows in ease of use, performance, likelihood not to break, and being *NIX; and it beats out Linux by having things working out of the box without needing to spend a decade tinkering just to get things almost working right.

I use Windows for gaming (and work, unfortunately), Mac for general computing and programming, and Linux for servers and vms.

You can install Linux on it, the only major things not working yet are speakers and deep sleep

Those are both serious blockers for me tbh, I like to take it out away from home and watch YT / Nebula vids. I'm keeping am eye on Asahi's progress though.

Yeah, the speakers don't bother me too much since headphones still work. Deep sleep not working really sucks though since on macOS I've had it last for weeks without opening it and still having battery left.
