So you are not the target audience for this.

The target is people who would buy a MacBook but want to run Linux.

There are many people who turn down the MacBook, not because of build quality, or design, but because it does not support Linux.

Some people don't like the design, some don't like the ecosystem, keyboard, ports, ... there's a gestalt of decisions, a unified direction apple products go in.

I know the HN comment thread is people who don't see this as an ideology and who have drawers full of apple products and used to work there for years but see this as not a preference in the slightest ... I know who I'm talking to but I for some weird strange, neurodivergent reason, insist on reality.
