I own a Framework NixOS laptop (the newest one), a System76 Thelio NixOS beast (ryzen threadripper), and various Apple stuff. (And a Prometheus XVII Windows gaming laptop and an M1 MBP that I'm selling on eBay right now.)

So I completely get where you're coming from, because it's not a mutually-exclusive thing with me. As a software dev, I love open-source stuff!

I did just order the M4 Max Macbook Pro with maxed-out specs though, because I like to work on locally-running machine-learning stuff
