I've been thinking the same thing after buying a Macbook pro in 2016. Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed the having it. But if my Macbook was suddenly eaten by a pack of rabid wolves, I'd be almost as happy running Linux on a newer and less expensive PC laptop. The bells and whistles that come with a Mac are nice-haves, but are certainly not must-haves.
