Re:The MacBook keyboard fiasco is way worse than Apple thinks

I love my XPS 13 "Sputnik" laptop. I might go for the 15" version when my mid-2014 Macbook finally dies. It would be nice to have official Linux support on the 15" model but as a practical matter, I've never heard of any serious issues running Linux on that model. I have no interest in the current Macbook line, too many regressions, and I'm very sad about that.

I would also prefer to buy an "official" Linux version, just to vote with my wallet. But the only issue I ever saw with my XPS 15 on Fedora was related to udev and external displays with the Dell USB C dock. Every time I connected and disconnected, the display IDs would iterate higher, which threw off my sway config. Relatively minor issue, and recent updates seem to have fixed it.
I'd encourage you to check out the Dell XPS series. My XPS 15 with a 4k display seems higher quality than the macbook display. It looks really good. It also has USB A and USB C ports, and even comes with an escape key! And Linux support is top notch.
