I ditched my 2019 MBP for development. I used a desktop with Linux and couldn't be happier.
For email, zoom, etc. I used the MBP. Linux dev experience is still far superior than Mac OS for me, and I tend to prefer big screens, mechanical keyboards and a work-desk env for long programming or video editing sessions.

Why Mac seems to attract so fanatic behavior? They seem to want to push everyone to use Mac, like religious fanatics try to push everyone to their "truth". I think this is a result of some marketing tactics Apple employed for decades, and it only pushes me away from this brand.
It’s not that apple users are fanatics, it’s that some people define their identity by their OS and will make absolutely certain you know.

Should have put that on the title I mean, it's already kind of stupid to want to avoid something the whole industry uses, from big tech to startups. In particular, when you have a very hard set of requirements that historically no one gets right except for you know who.
It's interesting how cult-like mac users are.
Cults were never paying their people, and like to demean outsiders. So there’s that.

Are you able to run X/Wayland off of the Intel GPU and leave the Nvidia GPU free for CUDA usage on that setup?
I never figured out how to toggle graphics between intel integrated and nvidia gpu as I also want to use nvidia gpu fully for CUDA algorithms, is there an app or something to do that?

One thing that deters me a bit from using macOS is the slower docker performance compared to linux. Anyone here have workarounds for this?
> Anyone here have workarounds for this? Sure, use Linux.
now i have to deal with horrible performance everywhere because of falcon agent and docker.

That's not to say all Apple products are bad.
I can vouch for the Framework. It doesn't feel beta at all. I'm running Xubuntu 21.10 on it an it rocks. Someone created a repo with salt scripts which works all the kinks of the laptop under Ubuntu. The only thing I needed it for was to fix the touchpad issue after resume from sleep (it would be at max acceleration) and to enable hibernate (just note that you must disable secure boot first). https://github.com/light…
I love the framework ethos and plan to continue supporting them but imo they do have kinks to work out.
System76 has some decent laptop options for Linux, but all are FHD.If I had to purchase a new laptop today, I'd look at System 76's Lemur Pro or Purism's Librem 14.
Lenovo has some pretty good sales on thinkpad X1s (at least they do in Canada - didn't check the US site). But, if you're in Canada, I just bought this: https://www.newegg.ca/p/N82E16834233446?Description=gigabyte... It's got a gorgeous 4K OLED screen, a quite decent CPU and GPU, and it's currently $350 off + a $300 mail in rebate (there was an additional $350 off over the easter weekend, too). The track pad is not m…

"Ultimately more powerful" As a previous BSD engineer please explain further, this entire thread is just horrendous and should be downvoted to oblivion. Nobody cares what laptop you decide to use, nor are you incapable of doing your own research. My grandmother calls me for laptop recommendations. My M1 Max 14" MBP has 64gb ram, mucho cores and is the fastest machine I've used. My gaming/dev desktop is a 12core ryzen…
I'll pay you 5$ and shipping for that XPS.
