I already have enough machines for the foreseable future. 4. I use macOS as linux. Let me elaborate on (4). I don't think I use *any* macOS app other than Finder (because I am forced to as far as I know). I use Firefox, Thunderbird, emacs, gnu tools in the terminal via homebrew, gnu bash rather than the default macOS / Unix shell, etc. So my Mac feels like using Linux, really, because a Linux user doesn't see the kernel, only the gnu tools. But if Linux were available in the M4, I would go for it. At the moment, this is completely unavailable.
