Posting from a Thinkpad X61s laptop (Jan 2008) running Trisquel Linux 11.

(I take your point that I would not be able to participate in this discussion using the original operating system that came with this laptop).

Apple’s support for MacOS can been shorter than their laptops longevity (the longevity of their laptops got quite bad when then tried to make them as thin as an usb-c port). So Linux support is also important there imo, and as the original post pointed out because Apple makes it so hard to for Linux to support their hardware, long-term software support may be something to think about before buying a MacBook.
