These things aren’t mutually exclusive.

Never said they were.

Many of us use MacBooks because that’s what our work machines are

There's a distinct difference between not having the choice in your work equipment and personally choosing to give money to a corporation such as Apple. It doesn't make you evil to personally do the latter, it's just a pity to give so much money to a corporation known for aggressively keeping things to themselves.

I understand where you're coming from. I personally just prefer MacBooks given their longevity, and it is unfortunate there isn't anything else like them. I did the Linux on various machines for a while, but as someone else said it didn't feel any different because ultimately I was just giving money to Dell/Lenovo instead.

I'm loving what System76 and Framework are doing, and I've considered buying one of their machines multiple times just to support them. It's just too much to justify for my non-primary machine, but in 10 years when I need a new laptop I'll strongly consider them.
