The question started with: "As a linux user"...

Linux doesn't seem like a nice to have for Linux users.

I've used linux for a decade now and still use it on my desktop. But it's not a strict requirement for me. On my laptop I just need something that has a super good battery life and is performant. And the macbook is so far ahead of the rest that it wins for me.

I didn't buy the macbook expecting to install linux on it, but if I can later, that's just an extra win.

Except that was exactly the point of the discussion. People who buy an Apple laptop with the expectation of having a perfectly functionnal linux on it.
