I expect you are rage-baiting, but just in case you are not...

Even if you consider the hardware "tech jewelry", isn't it strictly better to have a way to run Linux on it instead of sending it to landfill? Seems silly to exclude a particular set of hardware from consideration for arbitrary reasons?

Not rage bating. Im legitimately suprised by how many tech people hype up the MBP for no reason what so ever. If the laptops were half the price, they would be worth it from a tech perspective considering what you get.

In a perfect world, Apple would open source the firmware, which would let people just compile the linux driver for it. While Asahi project is cool in terms of figuring stuff out, ultimately its a lost cause because Apple will never be on board.
