   I will never understand how an intelligent, opinionated crowd like HN can be so obsessed over Apple's CPU offerings. Buying into the Mac ecosystem is without a doubt subjecting oneself to vendor lock-in. Linux won't even run on these machines until in 2-3 years, if you're lucky.

      What kind of vendor lock in are you talking about?? I use Mac and Linux and don’t feel at all locked in by Apple.

         Running an OS of your choice? Easily? That kind?

            The OS is mostly invisible to me. Except for the desktop manager but both Mac and Linux have options for that, I just don’t even feel the need to change the defaults. If I really need Linux for whatever reason, Docker makes that extremely easy on my Mac. I really can’t understand what Linux gives you that you would feel a need to change your OS on Mac.

               I always thought I was missing something on the Macs. That must be it. Cheers.
