Same, use a macbook and carbon X1.

Only thing the Macbook does noticeably better is speaker quality which isn't surprising given the size difference.



How about sleep, trackpad support/configurability, battery endurance, 4k display support, external monitor support? I've seen complaints about all of these wrt Linux on X1.

Macbook now has the M1 going for it.


I run WSL2 on my X1, everything works perfectly.

apt-get is much nicer than brew and all its stupid cask/taps stuff that takes forever for packages to install.

With wslutils installed I have "open" and "pbcopy" equivalents configured which were the only 2 things missing from osx that I use a lot.
