I too am more of a reluctant convert to Mac from Linux. It really does just work most of the time for me in the work context. It allows me to get my job done and not worry because it’s the most supported platform at the office. Shrug. But also the hardware is really really really nice.
I do have a personal MacBook pro that I maxed out (https://gigatexal.blog/pages/new-laptop/new-laptop.html) but I do miss tinkering with my i3 setup and trying out new distos etc. I might get a used thinkpad just for this.
But yeah my Mac personal or work laptop just works and as I get older that’s what I care about more.
Going to try out this container binary from them. Looks interesting.
If you’re looking for a hobby computer, Framework’s laptops are a lot of fun. There’s something about a machine that’s so intentionally designed to be opened up and tinkered with - it’s not my daily driver, but it’s my go to for silly projects now.
