I think for me at this point MacOS is the main reason to stick with Macs. While from user perspective it didn't get much better (maybe it got worse?) since Lion release in 2011, I still find it a major advantage of Macs.
If I were to switch to another system, I'd probably go with another laptop too - I'd get something with HDMI port, maybe touch screen, maybe the Lenovo laptop-tablet thing? There's been quite some innovation out there that Apple simply ignores, yet I can't convince myself to try Ubuntu or Windows again.
I don't understand it. If you want to run a Linux distro, cool! And maybe if you have an old MacBook laying around, give it a try on that hardware. But especially on the new Apple Silicon models, trying to run an OS that the hardware was absolutely not designed for seems like an exercise in masochism given that there is hardware out there that runs various flavors of Linux perfectly well.
