I use Linux for home and Mac for work. My Mac is older Intel based with software bar for F keys. If in the past 10 years ago I was into Mac and owned one… I no longer see the reason for Mac.
Hardware choices are not a selling point
Context bar makes it harder to use for programming. It is not a sell for me.
Mouse pad frequently jumps cursor.
Keyboard feedback is cheap.
Software is not impressive either
Usability wise Gnome is better than OS X for me. No ctrl key on right side is terrible.
Due to Windows subsystem for Linux v2 I am starting to think Windows is better for Linux development than Mac.
MAC M1, M2 laptops have good battery life going for them.
The keyboard’s on macs have always been crap. They’re even crap on desktop, they’ve taken their awful, but I suppose understandable, laptop keyboard and stuck it on a desktop keyboard base. Why?
Why are Apple allergic to the concept of keys having three dimensions to them, why are they all flat with zero travel.
They’ve been a form over function company since the iMac days with the round mouse with a single button completed with PC mice thatwere commonly two button with scroll wheel and in a shape that fit the hand and let you know which way it was oriented.

Yes and no.
Yes, one can buy at least mouse.
No, when I take laptop I don’t want to carry 2 additional devices. Extra keyboard for laptop is a ton of extra space, which makes if harder to use laptop on smaller desk.
Laptop no longer can be used on my lap. The core use case is broken. Thus, it is not the hardware I want to use.
By the way, I have no issues like that on Asus laptop that was much cheaper to buy. To be fair it has its own set of issues, but those don’t bother me as much.
