For some time after the introduction of the M1 CPU Macbooks provided the best battery life experience. So it would make sense to use a Macbook if you wanted your laptop to work more than 4-5 hours unplugged. But now Intel Core Ultra series 2 and AMD Strix Point laptops are almost as good. Sure you won't get 20 hours of battery life, but you get about 10-15 hours and it's already good enough. Performance of Intel/AMD CPUs are also good enough: about M2 performance-wise. Sure they are a couple of generations behind Apple, but for most tasks it doesn't matter. Linux compatibility is also getting there. You can choose a Thinkpad if you want to be sure that Linux runs on it. But even many consumer-grade laptops are supported but Linux thanks to recent kernel updates. Essentially what I'm saying is that if you want a good laptop experience and you like Linux, you don't have to settle for Macbook anymore.
