I moved last year to Linux and it was a worthwhile decision (though it took some time to re-configure stuff and Linux does make some things difficult).
I will only purchase an Mx macbook if they get proper Liux support. I think the machines could be great but I am done with macOS. There are multiple worthwhile machines that could run Linux. (gamers are underrated and AMD works great with Linux so far)
As far as the smartphone goes, I'm stuck with the iPhone now as there are no alternatives. I was considering an iPad Pro but I am postponing that for now until this whole saga clears out.
