I’m looking to replace my MacBook Pro M1 Pro with 32GB of RAM with a GNU/Linux laptop. I’ve found the Dell Precision 5690 – 32GB – Intel Ultra 7 165H. What do you think?

    You could use Asahi Linux if you’d rather not spend more money! Pretty good in my experience with an M1 13” MacBook Pro

      I did consider Asahi Linux, but the support isn’t comprehensive – particularly when it comes to display via USB-C, which I need because I mostly use my MacBook Pro with the lid closed, connected to a dock and two external monitors.

        If you are willing, there is an experimental branch with usb-c display support, although from what I hear it does work somewhat well
