@helenslunch regarding the points of “machine that will become useless in the next 3 years”, I think this is exactly the point of the Asahi Linux project, to bypass the planned obsolescence from Apple. When I cannot use the Apple OS anymore on the machine, I’ll try to install Linux just so I can continue using it.
@helenslunch
As for the filthy rich remarks, I don’t understand where this come from tho. I had to save up for around 3 months to buy the machine, but it served me well and helped me make back more than 10 times its price. There is no denying (you are also agreeing) that this machine is quite powerful & efficient for its form factor, and that saves me a lot of headache and backache.

I do not side with the unethical practices from Apple, but I take a utilitarian stance and buy what makes sense for me financially, while try not to fall into their consumerism trap.

The software is not the problem though…
