Mac is a victim and its the user's fault.

The unix isn't linux and didn't support the stuff I needed to run locally. Running stuff locally required a bunch of half-ass mac specific hacks, and then no actual cuda. What exactly is there to love? Why would I go out on a limb to use this hot slow box?

Oh, its the bad corp bloatware that is ruining everything? Poor mac its a victim again because no one cares to do a good job on it? I'm seeing a trend.

Buy a pc laptop with a proper gpu and run actual linux on it. Boom. Everything just works. Or dual boot windows.

I will say: I got to play on an m1 recently and had no latency issues, response was screaming fast and its tiny. But arm based, inaccessible gpu, etc, its a giant time sink to port tools to it. Not something that helps me do my job but at least it didn't suck to run emacs and a web browser.

Other than its gorgeous aluminum case I seriously can't understand why anyone would defend the device I had (2019 macbook 16 with 5500 gpu). You say you owned one and it didn't suck?

Mac compatible mice and keyboards?

You're a moron and FOS.
