as someone who switched from a macbook to a g14 with fedora, the trackpad experience is actually surprisingly close on some laptops, I had few issues moving over.

energy efficiency is more something you notice to be better on macs (in most cases) like you pointed out.

for me efficiency is not bad, but macs are clearly ahead

That’s good, how is the support in apps though? I live and die by pinch zooming and quick easy accurate scrolling/panning/rotating in Fusion and most of my graphics apps.

Side note, there are some really nice Mac only or Mac centric graphics apps that are affordable and not shitty subscriptions like the adobe suite. Pixelmator and Sketch are big for my photo retouching and UI designs.

pinch zoom works in inkscape, gimp, rnote and firefox as an example but for other apps also not at all often. yeah app support is for sure better on macbook i didn’t think about that.

at least new linux apps seem to integrate it more (generally) ..
