my employer gave us macbook pros' to work on and it so much spyware/malware that it made my router go off like xmas lights; so i setup a linux vm using kvm/qemu on my own hardware and retired the macbook.

i now fully expect my employer to somehow force a return to the macbook; but i've already returned it to the company so they're going to have to buy me a new one when they do so.

I'm using Asahi daily these days; it is dual-boot by nature so you can rock your Linux OS everyday but still have "a macbook" (and be working on a work machine paid by your company, as should be).

I'd be using it more if the keyboard wasn't so shit. Battery is good, screen too, processing power... really just the keyboard is wrong, wrong and wrong. Oh, and I love the touchscreen on my other laptop.

Did you guess my other machine is a Thinkpad? Yes it is. With a touchscreen!
