Holy shit man. I will never be able to afford new technology again.
I kinda wanted one to understand how to do and troubleshoot things in Apple ecosystem I’ve never used. If it goes up in price, it seems like older Airs would better serve it, but this just doesn’t bring as much curiosity as iPhone-cpu laptop - and I thought it would be a very popular platform thus my experience could’ve been translated to most cases in near future. Sad.
Yeah, honestly the only sensible or remotely affordable laptop options now seem to be either used ThinkPad + Linux or used Intel MacBook Pro + Linux
I think you still can’t install Linux on the 2019 models
