I am thinking about getting a MacBook Pro M1 Max as well, however I would prefer running Linux on it... hopefully Asahi Linux (https://asahilinux.org) is usable soon.

Or is there (or will there be) a serious competition to the MacBooks in 2022? It doesn't look like.

I love macOS because it gives me pretty much every Linux tool and commodity since it's Unix based but is well organised and with a nice GUI design, you should try it out definitely!

Asahilinux will always be second class on locked down hardware and there are already better performing laptops for half the price.

Don't financially support locked down systems if you care even the slightest bit about freedom of computing.

Which ones?

I don't know about better performing, but Manjaro on my Dell xps 9310 is near flawless. I never think about performance, everything is immediate.

It performs all compute tasks immediately? I should start compiling LLVM on that instead!

Hah, yeah sorry, you get what I mean.
