People who buy Macs probably have money and are willing to spend it.

...it their money aren't already gone for a 999$ monitor stand.

SteamDeck buyers on the other side...

@emergencyfood @UnaSolaEstrellaLibre I would spend money on a great Linux laptop that could game at 1440p max settings but I have not found the one, yet. Any recs?

A quick search suggests System76 might do the trick.

I've had a terrible time with them. The laptops all have the same issue with the hinges.

In that case consider Lenovo Legion series. Not made specific for Linux, but I've had good results with them.

The framework laptops are pretty good from what I hear. If I get to the point I need a laptop, I'll look closer at those.
