I don't disagree with you. I really really love the hardware -- and BTW it would be a dream if I get to work with OS/Hardware people in Apple. I don't like the software, especially the OS built-ins, but I guess I can find alternatives in App store.

I might eventually go down this route, if I can't find a reasonable good one. I use VMWare in Windows to access Linux on my 5550, so it's not a far stretch to switch the host.

Mac hardware with *true* Linux support would be heaven. I really hope that Framework can keep improving and get to that level eventually (please Framework, release and ARM chip, please)
