This is the reason I needed to switch to a Linux laptop. I cannot be beholden to Apple’s - or anyone’s - servers when it comes to running applications on my own machine.

Any recommendations? I’ve heard good things about System76.

I started with Manjaro, and I would definitely recommend it. I tried to switch to Linux a few times before I arrived at Manjaro, and it was the perfect introduction. It's based on Arch, so you get the most up-to-date packages, but it has a graphical installer and is beginner-friendly. If you can't find something in the default repositories, it's probably in the AUR (user-maintained repositories). Plus, it's just really fun to use.
