There are laptops that work with Linux and ones that don't. Nobody is forcing you to use it on a device that isn't supported

This is that depression the comment author is talking about. Apple fans will make it a point to lash out at Linux for not being a trillion dollar company supported product. Only depressed people lash out at the parts of the world where communities are trying their best.

macOS support for anything that isn't a new Apple product is appalling.

Yeah. I had a laptop which is only 4 years old causing issues, took it to an Apple Store and they couldn't give a toss.

Everything was pushing me in the direction of buying a new laptop (with a small discount relative to the new price) and transferring everything across.

Seems to be an insurmountable task for anyone apart from engineers at apple, let alone mice

I think they'd find that to be an engaging task, and they'd get a great deal of satisfaction once they had sorted it out themselves.

If the mice had to deal with an intermittently disappearing cursor, and erratic hover behaviour on a 2 year old M2 Mac with the latest version of Sequoia .. that would probably illicit a very different response.

Are mice known to spill blood?
