Hi Duy. Yes, compatibility gets better every day, kind of like Zeno’s paradox — always closer, yet never reaching ;-/

I am a long-time Macbook user, was a Windows user before that, and a Unix and Windows users before that (I am 63). Recently I looked into switching to native Linux on a laptop. I discovered that the battery life of those machines is not as good as a Mac running OSX, and the machines that come with Linux out of the box are flimsy and heavy compared to a Mac of the same performance. And there is also the very important issue of the Apple ecosystem — e.g., I have decade of notes in my Apple Notes app, which is available from any Apple device, and same applies to text messages and photos.

Good hardware is essential, and Apple still makes some of the best hardware, the butterfly keyboard issues notwithstanding (I preferred the prior generation keyboard).

And if I need Linux, I just start a VM and shell into it!
