Wow and darn I guess last support update to fully depreciate intel MacBooks. Used prices already are cratered.
They are great heavily supported Linux machines though. They work out of the box gorgeously with numerous distros and being usbc is nice. For $100-200 for a mint condition model, it isn’t so bad.

Since the release of Touch Bar based Macs (which contain apple silicon) this has not been the case. The Macs that are well supported by linux and work very well were abandoned long time ago.
Touch Bar predates Apple Silicon and most AS models do not have a Touch Bar.
He explicitly said Intel Macs - which are great Linux machines if you can accept the performance.
Would the M* be much better? Obviously, but that's not (yet) in the cards.
