I said "good riddance" to Apple and got a new Linux-first laptop, then proceeded to note down my first impressions.

Having used Ubuntu and Linux for 20 years, and having had a stint period with Apple, I decided to stick with Linux for good.

Why not? I feel we need the anti-post here. :)

I just want to get work done, and I just don't care about any of the benefits of linux. Mac OS legitimately just works for me, and that's the only thing I want out of a computer.

Plus nothing comes close to the battery life of an Apple silicon mac. Doing the same work my AMD Thinkpad T14s gets about 4-6 hours on a good day, my Intel Thinkpad P1 gets 1-2 hours, but my M1 Macbook pro emulating x86 code through a virtual machine gets 10+ easily.
