> Given this, it seems like MacBooks could easily end up becoming the laptop of choice for Linux developers in the years to come.

What's the situation with traditional USB and HDMI ports? Dongles are easy to forget and easy to break, and lots of us have traditional USB devices lying around and 10-year-old TVs.

There's an HDMI, 3 Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C), an SD card reader and a headphone jack on the Macbook Pro.

It's not, and in general I don't think one can claim that linux support for the Apple Silicon machines is good now. What seems to have been the case so far is that once hardware is supported it mostly stays supported (including on new generations of the machines), which suggests that linux support for Apple Silicon machines may well get to the point where it's really good.
