When it takes me 5 clicks and two open windows to pick a bluetooth speaker in Gnome, I remember how far behind it is from MacOS's 2 clicks and zero windows.
It doesn't. It takes 2 clicks.

Fedora Silverblue is the closest feeling to the macOS experience I fell in love with that I’ve had on Linux in, well, ever. Very happy with it on my desktop and laptop. It’s not perfect but it is less imperfect than modern macOS has become.
Finding a laptop that works well is annoying, however.
My ThinkPad P1 Gen 7 works absolutely fine. I get about 10 hours of battery life out of it. You can get it with Fedora preinstalled.
In my experience, ThinkPads generally work fine.

Seems targeted at office workplaces. A locked-down system that cannot even be corrupted or tampered with. Consider a workplace of a receptionist at a medical office, or a library computer.
Linux is wonderfully flexible, which allows to create distros like that, among other things. Linux is also free as in freedom, which may be very important for trusting the code you run, or which a governmental official runs.
I bet that past the alpha stage they will offer a configuration tool to prepare the images to your liking, and ways to lock the system down even more. Would work nicely over PXE boot.
The problem for this use case is that certain businesses, like medical offices, use specialized software that is often Windows only.
Was just in an Apple Store yesterday mulling over whether or not to switch back to macOS after 15 years on Linux PCs.
Both MacBook Pros and Airs are nice machines, but macOS, for me, it's a huge step back.
Unfortunately the Asahi project is underfunded (likely one of the reasons the project founder/lead jumped ship recently), and as a result M4 support is likely a year+ away.
Oh wells, let's see what Dell and Lenovo have on offer this spring/summer. Should be able to get a pretty decent PC laptop for less than the $4k+ an MBP 16" with 2TB/64GB will cost.
ThinkPad P1 is fine, if Intel chipset works for you.
Great keyboard and touchpad and nice display.
How is the quality compared to speechify?
I use it to listen to PDFs. It works, but has plenty of hiccups with headers, footers and colons.

While I am not somebody who succeeded in the field of running a SAAS, I gave myself the same question.
One answer (or better, one idea) I came up with, was to join a network marketing organization. While I am reluctant about this step, it would definitely pull me out of my comfort zone. And I think you can learn a lot sales wise in a network marketing organization.
I would love to hear what others think of this.
Some Free Software projects are simply to good to be true. ScummVM is one of them.
I remember fondly replaying Monkey Island on my Linux machine thanks to it.
