alt Hacker NewsMacBook is great hardware, but I really hate MacOS. It feels perpetually cellophane wrapped, and I don't like any of the window management. Finder is particularly awful too.
You should be able to deeply tweak how window management works, but Mac won't let you do that.
I'd run Linux on the hardware if it wasn't a hack.

What in particular do you find hacky about Asahi? I've been daily driving Asahi Fedora for about 8 months on a 13" M1 MBP, a significant portion of the project has been upstreamed to the kernel at this point, so the bar is set very high. The most significant compromises I've encountered have to do with Fedora's aarch64 repos, nothing to do with Asahi itself.
I like Linux and used it as my daily driver for a long time but I find I’m addicted to macOS’ ctrl-scroll zoom feature as my eyesight deteriorates.
I’ve not found anything that works as smoothly for Gnome. So I keep going back to macOS with Rectangle to solve its UX issues.
I find MacOS miserable even if the hardware is good.
I can vouch for Aerospace, it brings i3 windowing to MacOS well.
Rectangle solved my macos window management annoyances.
