You can get XPS Developer Edition, System76, Purism, or many other laptop brands (eg. any of these https://elementary.io/store/ with elementaryOS, whose DE should feel fairly familiar to a macOS user) with GNU preinstalled these days.

Although very slowly, this list of companies providing good Linux-ready laptops is growing.

I do wish someone would dare ship something high-end non-amd64 (e.g.: ARM). Kinda like what we're seeing from Apple.

First a high-end ARM chip would have to exist. The 8cx is pretty meh compared to the M1.

Even the M1 isn't appreciably better than an AMD chip, especially not an upcoming 5nm chip.

What's wrong with AMD?

That comment means amd64 (x86-64) CPUs not AMD (company) CPUs
