The bad news is the hardware. The most important parts of a laptop, to me anyway, is that it runs silent and doesn't get hot to touch. Not just to avoid sweaty fingers but because I usually have my laptop in or on my lap. Nothing I can find could replace my m1 8gb macbook air in that regard.
I can find some pretty cool linux laptops from framework or tuxedo, but they have fans and they get hot.
I'm quite frustrated with some aspects of macOS, particularly driving it from the keyboard, so I'm probably going to get a better experience out of it in the end.
Have you looked at Karabiner Elements⁽¹⁾? It’s extremely capable; see a config like this⁽²⁾ for inspiration.

Yes I'm using it because I don't use a standard Apple keyboard with my Mac.
The issue is mostly the user interface design is mouse first, not keyboard first. Windows was more than a little better on that front.

I have it, regularly updated, from my efforts 10-15Y ago to try to get a Compose key working on OS X.
I failed.
I just haven't bothered to remove and clean up again.
one would think, but a lot of things stopped Linux to just fucking work with Wifi on my machine
