Seems like my next CPU/GPU won’t be AMD. How is Apple doing lately?

Bad choice. They're all evil. AMD is still the least evil despite this, but there's nothing even close to a viable alternative. AMD is the best we've got.

Maybe, i don’t know, but iam more willing to buy something else or refurbished atm.

If you buy 2ndhand m1 or m2, the fedora Asahi remix works pretty good IRL. No, m3/4/5 are not ready, far from it.

USB4/Thunderbolt support is still very preliminary and with 2 ports on MacBook Air you’re going to have to use a docking station to connect displays and peripherals. It’s getting there though and hopefully it’ll be usable by the time they’re EoL’d. Can’t wait because with each MacOS release I feel increasingly like a victim of bait and switch.

Worth noting that OpenBSD is also making progress.

As long as my current setup works i won’t change anything, but yes, Asahi and a used/refurbished Apple product could be a solid choice in the future.

You think any of these CPU makers don't love Ai and aren't supportive of Ai?

I dont know, but more important for me it looks like some support openly DHHs ideology. Whitout any shame.
