I do like MacOS more than Ubuntu (which I also use), and lately, customizability of Ubuntu has gone down too (As an old Mac-user, I want a menu bar, I actively dislike menus on each window) and the M1/M1X look real sweet compared to intel.

The ecological footprint of electronics is bad enough as it is, no need to reward companies that want you to throw away whole computers after 3y.
