I couldn’t finish the blog post. It came off as too much of a rant and a bit whiney. Linux != macOS or Windows. Gestures, and all this fancy stuff about fingerprint readers etc do not apply. I guess I’m lucky my thinkpad’s fingerprint reader works.

Anyway I’m looking forward to evaluating this laptop vs a similar AMD thinkpad as I’m in the market. I run i3 and will move to sway when I fully transition things to Wayland. Multitouch trackpads and the mouse in general is something I avoid as much as possible.

Also re the blog: the full screen modal to sign up to the mailing list before the article was presented is highly hostile to readers and screams desperation. If I like a blog I will read a few posts and then either bookmark it or add it to my rss reader if it has one. I won’t be returning to this blog though.
