About the next ARM-based macbook....

[qchapter1]

I fail to see why MacOS would be the ultimate Operative System goal.
Apple is a company known for vendor lock-in.
Linux is about interoperability.
Two very different worlds.

I say that because as of now, most linux distros suck or barely work. Manjaro is ok, but it still has a few issues.

FWIW, I'm replying to this post on a Pinebook Pro running Manjaro XFCE while Calibre is converting a few ebooks to different formats, and listening to my FLAC library using Audacious. Converting books on my i5 Asus machine running Fedora makes the system unresponsive.  In comparison this little $200 Pinebook Pro is a joy. Linux works pretty well IMO. I also use MacOS at work, and it's by no means problem free.
