2018/2019 models are losing #Apple support.
#OptGreen with #GNU/#Linux to keep your device in use! These machines will run beautifully for many years to come.
Not only wallet friendly, #upcycling keeps CO2 emissions out of the atmosphere. Ca. 75% of Apple's emissions comes from production alone (details in alt text).
Sustainable, independent #FreeSoftware: Better for users, best for the #environment.
Also look at high end windows laptops. They are often easier to repair then Apples devices. Batterie, hard disks and so forth can be easy to change for some of them. This can make those last a lot longer.
But honestly most none Apple software able to run on Macs also runs on Linux. If you do not play certain games or use some very specific windows only software, Linux is a great choice. Just give it a try, it is free after all and it is rather easy to get an old laptop or computer for free.
