This exactly. I recently resurrected my MacBook Air by replacing a dead SSD (was it coincidence that it died right after the Catalina upgrade? Can SW brick an SSD?). I’m now running UbuntuStudio on there and spending great chunks of my lockdown time re-learning Linux (after a 17 year hiatus) and trying to iron out weird kinks in my config (Bluetooth detects my Logitech K670 keyboard but just won’t pair with the damn thing).

I’ve already determined that when I pick up my next contract, I’ll be buying a Lemur Pro from System76.

Apple, you had me 17 years ago. Now you’re losing me.
