>distros
I view distros as tools that get me somewhere where I want and I rate them based on how much they get in my way and how many things they patched from upstream with zero added value. Redhat has stupidly small repos, installing ffmpeg requires enabling multiple repos for "patent" reasons and paranoid SELinux, but at the same time Debian changes default config locations and behavior for zero benefit, created the multiarch hell and ships non-standard scripts to fix the problems they themselves created with their "features".

>laptops
I have a work 16" Macbook Pro and it's "fine". The software drives me crazy sometimes and the hardware looks nice and makes the impression that it's sturdy, but in the end it's made for the Starbucks cofe crowd. We are at the point where all business class laptops are good enough (consumer ones are complete garbage) and the thing that drove me to a Macbook was the battery life and that was basically it. However I wouldn't buy one as a personal laptop. I had a work ChinkPad X1 before this and the battery life was awful. Not to mention Leninovo's awful management and config software.

Overall modern laptops sucks. Including the "repairable" Framework.

>but @fluffy why don't you just hackintosh it
You won't have support for non Apple ARM architectures in a few years, so it's waste of time. It always was a novelty thing and a fun project with minimal actual work potential.
