I just switched back to Linux. The main reason was the arm arch software headaches and my heavy use of docker, but it didn't hurt that I got something that costs half the price of a similarly spec'd MacBook. I almost got the M2 Air until I saw the surprising pricing.
My main headaches have been quick to get over, mostly around keyboard shortcuts and clipboard behavior, but the only really concerning one is the laptop trying to cook itself during sleep. This has happened maybe 3 or 4 times in a few months of regular use. Kernel updates and bios settings have made no difference yet.
After stepping away from Linux for about 5 years I'm mostly pleasantly surprised with the progress though. It's really not far from there being no reason to even consider wasting money on a Mac unless you have some very specific creative software needs (or you need mega battery life, which is never fully utilized for me).
