I used to be the same, but I'm contemplating a return to Linux more and more and already use a Linux machine for day-to-day work.

macOS' recent updates have been a massive downgrade in terms of usability, try to force garbage on me that I don't want (no, I don't need Apple TV+ nor News on a work machine) and reliability on the M1 Air is bad - just yesterday the thing half-locked-up for 30 seconds (caps lock still responded, but everything else froze) with no explanation, not to mention the occasional kernel panics and constant nags for permission for every goddamn thing (you've implemented the notifications permission system to prevent apps from spamming me, but your solution is to spam me with one for every app that I run even for apps that never actually send notifications?).

I just need a machine that works and gets out of my way. It used to be as everyone else was trying to get in your way, Apple was mostly content with just charging a huge premium. That seems to have changed in the last couple years.
