Not Linux? I'm assuming you never fired up a terminal session or you would have known right away it's a .nix
Every SW engineer I onboard is given the choice of a Mac or Windows box. 9/10 pick the Mac. The ones who don't have never used a Mac.

I've no idea what was wrong. I was driving an external 4k monitor so thinking it was just the gpu getting heat soaked.
I'm with you about all the kids wanting macbooks. Because its like straight out of the movies. I'm pretty sure now that its because they don't know any better. Everyone on my team thought the macbooks were dogs and had the same hot keyboard problem (again using external monitors.) What is the point of a modern laptop that can't even efficiently run an email client?
I owned a next through college, big fan of the idea of osx. I didn't say not unix. It is not linux meaning a bunch of standard linux stuff just doesn't work for weird bs linux reasons. I'm sure there's a way to get it to work but time is money. Either it just works or gtfo. Macs are a novelty for the computer illiterate. But again, I was shocked how bad it actually was.
I gave it six months then swapped it for a lenovo p15. Same use as macbook I'm just using it as a corporate terminal and have had zero issues.
