I would agree were it not for the hairy yaks. As a startup founder I just don't have time for my computer to not "just work." This is the primary thing that keeps me absolutely glued to Apple.

I do kind of like MacOS, but am concerned about their lack of strong interest in it.

I would pay for a "vertically integrated" open hardware Linux laptop. I've seen some promising projects but none are mature enough.

The second issue is apps, but that can be mitigated by having a Windows VM.

But this entire thread of comments and even the topic of the post is proof that it really just doesn't work.

I would argue that any major Linux distro at this point "just work" just as well as MacOS

Yeah, there may actually be close to a dozen people commenting here!

Given my perennial attempts to switch to Linux which are inevitably thwarted by aggravating driver bugs and incompatibility issues with X Windows and Wayland (both), I'm inclined to disagree.
