I e got an i3 one of these on order and should turn up next month. I need to buy RAM and an SSD, but I think it'll end up around £750 all in. Will replace my 11yo MacBook Air 11 inch. Mac OS just went in the wrong direction under Cook.
Makes me sad that I know exactly what you mean, this new glass shit has me nervously eying the Linux door.
Linux Desktop has only got better in recent years. I made the switch to Ubuntu ~5 years back and have the opposite problem now - switching back to Windows/macOS can be a buggy pain.
Proprietary apps are still a pain for switching, but helped that most of the main ones (office) have capable web variants.
