I used to be such a person, but after years of feeling as though Apple found people like me irritating and wished we would all stop bothering them, I finally took the hint.

Linux may not be so pretty, but it's far more comfortable.

Linux is great, my issue is laptop hardware.

What problems do you encounter? Which sorts of laptops do you prefer?

My "all Thinkpad, all the time" strategy has generally served me well (though I was disappointed by the most recent one, a T14, which would never sleep properly).

MacBookAir + aarch64 linux vm -- best of all the worlds. Linux for the 5% of things I need linux for, amazing battery life and hardware for the remaining 95% of things my laptop does.
