I did this. Was a ThinkPad Linuxer for years and now I just use an M1 for sysadmin/programming/web/vids. Quite happy to just use Linux on my servers these days. MacOS does the job nicely on laptop. I suppose it depends on how FOSS you want to be.

I recently bought a MacBook Air M1 and I came at it from a classic "ThinkPad with Fedora on it" Linux nerd perspective. I got given a Mac at work a couple of years ago, and I warmed to it. I agree that Macs are great tools for DevOps work. I used to think they were just for posers but I've been converted.
Just use a $5 USB-C to 3.5mm DAC?
I heard about it when it was mentioned on the Trillbilly podcast, about two years ago. Which is quite an obscure way to hear about a project by Tim and Eric. So, yes, it's not too well known.
I clicked on the thread to mention this excellent Tim & Eric side project. Anyone who likes silliness and hasn't seen it yet needs to crank up a torrent.

Isn't it quite common to have /boot on an unencrypted partition?
Wow. I've been using dd for years and I'd consider myself on the more experienced end of the Linux user base. I'll use cp from now on. Great link.
Yeah. I've no need to change to anything else. pf/OPNsense 4life.
How would the update affect stuff like a GoCryptFS volume which I mount and use periodically but not all the time? Would those files be processed much faster than previously?

I home brew installed most stuff, yeah. I'm lucky in that I don't need a whole lot of stuff installed. Just a couple of JetBrains IDE's, a couple of browsers, iTerm2 and a handful of popular CLI utilities.
