Show me Motion 5 and FCPX for Windows and I'll gladly switch.
You should try davinci resolve. It has a free version, and even runs on linux.

So we all know that can't happen; whats keeping you away from the adobe suite? From my research as a begining youtuber, the biggest hurdle seems to be price

I upgraded from a 2015 MacBook Pro to a 2019 16”. I heard there were tons of keyboard issues in the years in between. Aside from that, I stick with MacBooks because of the solid quality and macOS. I can’t work on Windows. I’ve tried again and again. I do have a windows machine for gaming, but programming and design work, the short cuts, fluidity, and general experience working in iTerm2 with multiple desktops is top…
WSL2 is fast, rock-solid and outperforms a Mac with iterm2 by far. I don't know which fluidity you mean on a multi montior setup you lack on Windows. Re short-cuts Windows has more (just think of win+number or built in window management) or autohotkey which owns karabiner. MacOs is good if you need Xcode but other than that? Idk
You have benchmarks for this? I’m running a Windows Pro installation with a Core i7 4790K and 16GB memory. My 2015 MacBook is much faster. I honestly thought the WSL thing was just a gimmick and some online searching told me that there are IO performance issues.

Not only are they better built, they also run macOS.

The problem is the “can get.” If you value your time at, say, $200/hr, how long can you spend learning about Linux distros, repos, software, and troubleshooting issues etc before you’ve spent the savings from buying a non-Mac-native laptop?

“X laptop which is cheaper than a MacBook benches higher” This is not news, this has always been true. People keep buying MacBooks, it’s been one of the best selling laptops for a decade. There must be some other reason why people like them.... Maybe benchmarks don’t matter to most people? Really makes you think
Which also isn't news. It's trivial to find a laptop that outperforms a premium laptop at half the price. That's equally true of any non-Apple vendor that has premium business laptop models.

I was curious if I was using an older version that led to my problems with WSL2, but I just did a search right now for “WSL 2 slow” on Google. I see threads and discussions in the past couple months with people still calling out how slow it is and other issues.
This image on Acer's Swift product page really answered the question for me. https://static.acer.com/up/Resource/Acer/Laptops/Swift_7/Ove...

This is not a fair comparison because there are a lot of benefits of troubleshooting, most of them intangible. If you don't like it fine, just get a Linux "certified" laptop or a Mac.
