I Finally Found a Solid Debian Tablet: The Surface Go 2

I'm personally expecting Apple Silicon machines to become really good Linux devices within the next year. A killer team is working on it, and they can benefit from the game console effect—ie, Apple sells a limited number of models in large quantities.

Same. I follow a number of team members on twitter and can't wait for it to be a bit more complete. I'll buy an M1 or M2 at that point for sure.

Apple has no incentive to pick e.g. wifi chips with reasonably open specs. And history has pretty much proven that no amount of volunteer effort without specs will make Broadcom chips behave well.

Future Apple hardware being usable with Linux is not a bet I would make. I used to run Linux on a PowerPC iBook, and it's been downhill from there.

That would be the best option. My last MacBook lived for 7 years, ideally this one will do the same.
