I dipped my toe in the s76 pool with a fully specced lemp10.
It was by far the best Linux experience I’ve had on a laptop to date, but I still ended up back on an m2 mbp…
2 killer issues were:
finding realistic personal replacements for fusion360 and Affinity Designer. (freecad and inkscape just aren’t for me); and
The hardware just worked together better on the Mac (BT, audio, screen, WiFi, networking etc…).
I’m planning on taking my m2 mbp to asahi once the fingerprint scanner is working and dual booting for cad and vector graphics apps if I can’t get crossover versions working.
Net:Net I want to like s76, but the LEMP ended up basically the same price as the MBP and the Mac hardware was vastly superior (screen, audio, power management, etc)
I’ll try Linux again on my next laptop purchase again…
