Even though my PC use is now 75% Linux, I do still have an M2 MacBook Air. That thing is three years old and still as powerful as the day I bought it. Though to be fair, it’s not running macOS 26, because fuck that.
Their hardware is legitimately incredible. But as a company they’re dog shit. Hence my 75% Linux use. If Asahi was as useful on my MacBook as Kubuntu on my desktop, I wouldn’t be using my Air with macOS at all.
Are we playing with anecdotes? Because I can give you dozens of examples of Mac hardware that had a minor issue that killed the whole thing because Apple either wanted to charge an exorbitant fee or outright refused to repair it.

Sounds like you had a string of good luck. It’ll probably break tomorrow.
The 2011 MacBook I still have that still works a treat (with Linux) was also an incredibly lucky purchase too, I guess.
