Older Intel Macs are some of the best Linux machines. The newer ones with Apple CPUs are a compatibility nightmare.
Comment on Windows 11 could actually become the same kind of mistake Sony made with the PS3

Yes. And Windows too, on the x86 ones. Those are no different than a traditional laptop.

If you can get an old final-intel-gen MBP in decent nick, they can make pretty decent Linux machines if you’re okay with not being able to do any internal hardware upgrades.
tiny-dfr is your friend if you happen to get one with that touchbar F-row, which is probably the only big downside compared to a conventional laptop.
