My employer used to use RHEL Linux on ThinkPad T14 which worked for me. I configured GNOME with keyboard shortcuts I use daily on my FreeBSD ThinkPad W520 and was quite happy with it - especially with several additional GNOME extensions.
Unfortunately my employer decided that it will ditch Linux from admins laptops and forces migration to Windows ... but its also possible to get Apple Macbook.
I am sick an tired of being sick and tired by Winblows bullshit so I decided to get Apple Macbook straight away.
I got the M1 version of Macbook Air. Its nice light device ... but the keyboard is TERRIBLE to say the least - when you are used to the AWESOME W520 keyboard.
But that is just the 'tip of the iceberg' of problems.
The keyboards shortcuts are quite limited. You can use some external apps for that. Same for windows tiling. I wrote my own window tiler for X11/openbox. I needed to install Rectangle for that - and it works really well for that.
... but ZERO luck with free apps/solutions for MIDDLE CLICK copy/paste. I have tried free MiddleClick ... but seems it does not support Ventura yet.
Generally after two decades with computers I fell like with two left hands at macOS. Both on software and hardware (keyboard) side.
The interface is looking nice ... but you are also VERY limited to how small the interface or fonts can be. I prefer to have rather small fonts and/or interface as large fonts/interface takes too much screen space.
Here is what I use daily:

Not sure how that helps - but that are my $0.02 on that topic.
