  • Not trying to shill for Apple or anything, but I have found MacBooks (excluding the 2015 MacBook, and the 2016-2020 Air and Pro models) to be extremely stable and reliable, especially since they use their custom ARM CPU/SOCs. It reminds me of the good old PowerPC days, these machines were also reliable, basically unbreakable like a tank. In build quality, hardware and software. With the ARM transition, Apple really appears to have brought back the glory days of computing (unfortunately not in terms of upgradability and repairability, but at least in quality, stability and reliability).

    I’m even more excited for the continiously improving Linux support on these devices - thanks to the amazing Asahi Linux (!asahilinux@lemmy.world) project. Also consider following them on Mastodon: @AsahiLinux@treehouse.systems
