I use both a Linux laptop and a MacBook every day.
I installed Ubuntu Server (which is halfway between Debian and Ubuntu Desktop) with i3 and spent a number of hours customizing it. I don't enjoy the time spent to get a custom setup (e.g. figuring out how to make the system not hang on boot because of wifi, and what packages to download so that the terminal will display emojis), but I do enjoy how fast the UI is, how all unimportant elements are removed.
But I'll play my music from either my iPhone or my MacBook.
If I'm charging my car, I'll work from the MacBook, because it doesn't use much battery when idle, its battery lasts a long time, and it is actually comfortable to have in your lap.
If I'm playing games, I'll use the MacBook.
If I'm doing accounting, I'll use the MacBook.
If I'm stitching together PDF documents, I'll use the MacBook.
Linux is only best for software development. But that's a pretty big part of every day for me.
In Linux you can customize it to act like a MacBook, that's why arch Linux exists for example. I believe that in Linux the battery should last most longer than an M1. MacBooks hardware is very good, that's why I wait for Asahi Linux to be ready.
