Yup, this is my exact use case. I'm needing more hardware and my multiple Macbook Pros are getting old - but i'm not satisfied enough with Mac these days to drop $4k on upgrading. Apple would have to make me really happy with the software (read: bug free, primarily) for me to spend the upscaled costs in their ecosystem.

So now i'm installing Windows and Linux, comparing them and the ease of use. I don't want _any_ driver problems, frankly i just want the OS to get out of my way. Historically, Linux has given me such a terrible experience with things like "my BT doesn't work, my sound doesn't work, my monitor doesn't work" that switching away from Mac was viewed as an impossibility.

Now however, i see a way out, and i'm taking it. I've experimented with WSL2 and it's shockingly good so far. I'll likely install PopOS this weekend to see if i experience problems. If i even hint a problem in Linux, i'll likely revert back to Windows.

Mac is losing it's lunch imo. But, i get to build a workhorse of a PC for the same price i would have given Apple - so i'm happy.

Mac isn't losing its lunch. We're just not their target users base anymore.

Why sell to these demanding power users wanting complex stuff when you can sell to the rich consumer who just wants to dick around on Facebook and play with their iDevices all day :P
