I bought a macbook pro in 2020, and for the last 6 years, it has been a workhorse of a machine, it is dear to me in ways I'm ashamed to admit.
This year though its been feeling slow. Slow in ways that don't make sense for a 6 year old laptop and as you can probably guess downgrading helped a lot.
Tahou ruined the experience for me, and after trying and not loving the experience provided by the mainline T2 linux kernel, I decided to buy an upgrade.
I pre-ordered the Framework 13 pro with the intent of having it stick around as my main machine for at least the next decade. That was until yesterday when I came across this project.
Its a collaborative targeted effort to bring the experience of using a T2 mac with linux inline with macos (or what macos was before the OS tanked the performance with its fancy glass effect).

So...guess I don't need a new computer after all!
I made the same choice albeit a year ago. Dont bother with Framework their stuff is super clunky and super expensive.
I use t2linux.org, the install of Mint worked fine on one of my macbooks. The other I keep around only for logic pro. Have had no problems with it.
It is not my daily driver as I have moved on to non-apple hardware for good. Anyway t2linux.org works fine I dont know about this OPs project.
