Lima: Linux-on-Mac

for me, I travel a lot. Have you seen the size of workstation-class laptops? Just the powerbrick on the top-end lenovo is almost the size of a shoebox. And even the upgrade screens don't hold a candle to macbook screens.

So I will put up with Macos interop quirks with docker and so on for the great screen and ease of carrying.

You're kidding right? There's a decent number of thin & light laptops with HiDPI and 100% DCI-P3 coverage screens offered by OEMs. Some offer 16:10 and 3:2 ratios too. The only downside is all of these high-end models will be Intel quad-core (even if Tiger Lake has been pretty good compared to previous Intel generations)

Sadly, I'll concede on this selection being dismal and in this form factor, the RAM is almost guaranteed to be soldered.
