I know what you mean, but I’m tired of window’s bullshit too.

I’d keep pc hardware if my work could happen on Linux, but it’s sadly not an option at the moment.

But RAM on the non-mac side is plentiful and relatively cheap. For the same cost of that base model 16GB Mac you can get a PC laptop with 64GBs of RAM and plenty of storage

With all that RAM and storage you can slap Linux on it and run Windows on a VM for that work software that doesn't work under alternatives such as Wine

Or alternatively run a hackintosh-VM then you can have MacOS without supporting Apples user-hostile decisions
