I'm pretty frustrated with the new Macbook as well. Maybe I'm letting it get to me too much, but every time I have to bust out dongles to do something as simple as connect my monitor or phone to my laptop just irritates me. I've been debating switching as well for some time. The Dell XPS 13 or 15 looks really appetizing.

Linux is pretty nice and most software that I might need is cloud based vs being OS based. I do hear tho that Linux has trouble with high resolution screens. Something about the drivers being incompatible or buggy. Not too sure.

Oh yeah, there was an old saying "Linux is free but only if you don't value your time", but maybe that's changed nowadays 🤷🏽‍♂️
