Yes I will. The last macOS is with Catalina. So I asked friend who left Apple development at Cupertino about 2 years ago. He said the same. He is on his last Mac. In fact you can get now Linux desktop computer that has everything that macOS has including store for apps that you can install from. It works the same as on mac computers and in fact even better because apps downloaded outside integrate with App Store installer at the moment you start installing app instead bothering you with notorious and dumb questions if you want to start downloaded application (I have disabled that "security" check option from Catalina permanently). Most of remote work applicatuions including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Citrix client, Amazon Workspaces, Slack and many others work on Linux desktops natively now (yes now manufactirers brought them to Linux) and if something does not work you can always run Windows version of software using Crossover emulation layer (or WineHQ if you want to experiment and tweak). Apple macOS e-mail client sucks like hell with its limitations comparing to eM Client that runs just like that on Linux and natively on macOS and Windows 10.

In fact, you can get nowadays ASUS small footprint 8 core AMD computer - something Apple should have considered before making not oso wise decision on going M1 - that does not have Spectre or Meltdown security issues and outperforms majority of computers on the market including Apple M1. It also takes Linux Mint that resembles Windows 10 interface and if you want other proven desktop and setup looking almost exactly ike macOS then you can get Ubuntu and reconfigure it. It is more secure without gimmicks applied by Apple on SSD, EFI and proprietary hardware. On top of that it runs 4 4K monitors at the same time or 8K. All other newest protocols and all shebang that Apple will be coming probably soon with, but after AMD.

Guess what in experiment i installed Linux Mint 20 on old MacBook Air from 2011 on replaced SSD (Samsung 860 EVO) installed in that old unsported mac and it seems to run better than macOS without complaining about hardware, no support or speed issues and freezing apps.

Why would they need that? That is Apple's problem they drove themseleves into. Honestly, making propriatery hardware is not the best idea in general. Linux is already ported to M1, but developers already discovered a lot of stupidity on M1 hardware and many pieces that are not innovation, but restriction slowing down. Read articles on other technology portals.

In other words, unless Apple proves that M1 serves purpose properly and is available to all vendors including those who do not use official channels or contracts on Apple's terms it may be ignored. That may be mistake by Cook's team and one day they may find themselves in position Apple was in '90. Well Job's passed away so there will be nobody to come and rescue Apple again.

Start publishing ARM M1 specs and enable platform for all and products will show up on Apple computers. For now, many do not exist and some even say: "Available on Big Sur for intel based computers only." Do they really need to accommodate Apple's marketing and secrecy moves? Time to learn from mistakes and read on what was happening 15 and 25 years ago and why Apple switched to Intel at some point. After all you have mainstream ARM already on the market and Apple did not decide to go that route even when it has stakes in SoftBank that holds many patents on ARM.
