How much I would love to be able to use this. Every few years, I try to replace my Macbook with a different laptop and linux. But the "finish" that the Apple products have is unmatched.

Specially the keyboard/trackpad support. It's always been underwhelming with Linux. I know this is a subjective take and it's unrelated to Hyprland.

I hope that my next laptop can finally be the final step off to the Linux laptop, because I would love to use Hyprland.

If you want polish, don't use a build-it-yourself desktop. You are responsible for adding the "magic" on a lot of these desktops, and if you don't do the work you generally don't reap the reward.

KDE and GNOME both work out-of-box for most features and configurations. If you don't try to chase the r/UnixPorn dream you can end up with usability in spades.

This has changed drastically in the last couple of years. The Asus G series and Razer blade series are both very close. If you’re in 14”, check the G14 (razer doesn’t do oled). If you’re in 16 — compare the G16 and Blade 16.

I use custom external keyboards though, so maybe I’m not the best reference for your specific complaints.

Can confirm, I love my Linux 2024 g14 to death, and prefer using it over my MacBook. The latest updates in Arch fixed the suspend issues.

I didn't jump back since the M1s. We are not ready to jump again battery, energy control, and fanless wise. I often read about the experience with Qualcomm in Samsung, Surface, Lenovo, and Acer devices. It is clear far far away. Asahi Linux is not the answer either.

This is what’s keeping me as well. I’m ending up writing my config to run on macOS AND Debian because I need the battery life when I’m out and about.

[computerfriend]

Why is Asahi not the answer? I'm seriously considering it.

fwiw, it runs great on a M1 macbook air

Maybe you could try a chargeback. Having to pay for a Linux license and not have such a basic feature (because everyone has touchscreens in 2024) is outrageous. I heard they don't even accept code contributions to fix this mess.

I have to install a separate program on Mac to get 3 finger click and window snapping. What's the big deal?

[tutuca]

python comes by default on mac and linux. Even sonoma without rectangle is hell.

Oh, you mean like having to install "Display Menu Pro" on macOS in order to access my actual native screen resolutions?

An action for which I normally don't have to install anything for, in, well, <checks notes> any OS other than macOS.

I always have to laugh at macOS users who talk about how polished everything is--whose menubar right side has enough app hieroglyphics to make an ancient Egyptian envious.

Oh no. Having to install software :(
