>Mac laptop hardware is still better than Linux laptop hardware. As someone who's considering my first Linux laptop, I need to balance the inconveniences of Linux hardware now with the likely fact I can probably use that laptop significantly longer than current Mac. Somebody has to pay for all those convenient Mac support folks.

The funny thing about that is that it's only with the Apple Silicon Macs that's true. The 2016-2020 Intel MacBooks were a garbage fire.

The goddamn last intel MacBook Pro manages to legit burn my hand if I don’t use a program that forces the vents on.. Like sure, I do hate the sound of a vent but when I am actively using a laptop for writing or something and it is scorching hot then please choose the annoying noise over boiling my skin. Though I feel these things are more like Apple assuming that an intel proc is the same as an M1 that hardly heats up.
