Big enough that they specifically targeted that exact group with this laptop.

M1 and M2 models run Asahi Linux, M3 and M4 don't run anything natively I think (but not entirely sure).

Practically, if you have AppleCare you don't need to worry about repairability.

I would love a MBP that ran Linux. I am not a fan of MacOS (though it's one of my two daily drivers).

What I really want is for other hardware vendors to catch up. I like Apple hardware but hate their software.

Yes, see https://asahilinux.org/

On macbook you could emulate windows. Inside windows emulate linux. And it would still be much faster than this framework
