@Lady@glitch.cat.family that's fair; i got bit by this hard yesterday, when my work machine's debian install bricked itself so hard that i decided to blow all that away and move to nixos fully, since i already had a home-manager configuration...
but i'm kind of a special case in that my job is sometimes dealing with crap like this. i wouldn't recommend it to anyone else right now unless they're in a similar position
@kit i have an M1; it will probably be officially supported for another four years; if i replace the battery near the end of that it probably still has a decade of life
i’ll stick with macOS for as long as it seems tolerable and hopefully linux on M1 will be in a good place by the time that i bail
