Why? I mean if I need a Linux machine, I buy an Intel or AMD machine for half the price and just install Linux. Paying Mac tax makes no sense here.
This is very much said by somebody who’s never used an m1
Apple M1 and M2 chips are pretty great, so the "Mac tax" CAN be worth it to some. Also, having the option to install Linux on an Apple machine can prevent it from becoming useless because of planned obsolescence.
Well if you already have an M1 Mac, it’s nice to be able to install a second OS without needing to buy a dedicated Linux machine.
