I'm on the verge of swapping my macbook for a framework laptop. I never really bought into the whole apple ecosystem (I've got a pixel phone), and I find myself using the mac as a less flexible unix box. I'm mostly in the terminal, vscode, or firefox, and using rectangle and homebrew to make it more linux-y to interact with. I'd swapped to the mac because it was a more reliable hardware setup than any linux laptops at the time, but I'm starting to look for other options.
i think wayland set linux desktop back 10 years. it’s finally coming up to parity with X11. but basic stuff like “get the latest release of of consumer GUI app $foo” is still weirdly mired in odd political plays between flat pack people, distros, and the actual devs. at least audio finally seems to be solved with pipe wire!
