I got this on Black Friday many years ago for ~70 and despite the pass I am slowly moving over to Jellyfin. I really don't see how they came up with this valuation, seems like a last money squeeze before abandoning ship.

How do you even waste a Sunday? By working?
Doing nothing at all is a wonderful thing.
You can throw Fedora Asahi on the M1 Mac and it will run Gnome, a browser and most regular apps just fine (e.g. VLC, LibreOffice) but you will run into trouble with Steam and lots of other apps. Might be fine for your usecase and Asahi is easy to install. You also keep a small partition with macOS, just in case.
If you want Apple hardware but full Linux (I get it) you could look for an even older intel based macbook, but beware to not get one with the T2 chip (they put that in from 2017 on or so) because that thing will break your will to exist when it comes to some drivers. Older macs though run most distros really well.
I used to be a heavy macOS user for decades and also love Gnome because they are very similar and tick all the boxes for OS aesthetics
Enslave the slavers? No thanks. They must be hanged and fed to the crows. Which is what they should have done with every slave owner or confederate general back then.
Stop ordering from Amazon
At least this time the visuals make sense
Asahi is great for putting fedora on the Apple silicon macs. But there are quite a few limitations (e.g. steam won't work) so I would not recommend anyone to buy a mac for linux
Okay this is better
I recommend rocks next year
And luckily there are plenty of options out there for people who want to attach peripherals to their laptops. I'm just not one of them.
My ideal device has two C ports on each side and a solid trackpad like the mac books do, just without all the apple bullshit of locking stuff down. @tuxedocomputers, pretty please 👀
Good to know Dell makes these. I am running CachyOS on the 2020 Intel MacBook Air and it's okay.. she runs a bit hot, so battery life is about half of what I would get with macOS.
As much as I like the look of Apple hardware, I despise them locking everything down. I'm glad there are smart people out there, like the Asahi project, cracking those macs open.
