This unpatchable Apple flaw on their M1, M2, and M3 chips is keeping a lot of people up.
If you are in the market to replace your apple computer, one alternative could be a System76 an American company from Colorado with intel chips. I've been a happy customer since 2021. This is not a paid ad.
All their products support Pop Os! a Linux distribution supported by System76. Which is open source. They have several desktop, laptop and mini computer options.
My personal favorites the Desktop model Thelio and Mini computer Meerkat models.
Here's their mission, vision and values per their website www.system76.com :
"The History Behind the System76 Name
Ever since the company’s origin, we've focused on technology freedom. The freedom to truly own a computer you purchased, and upgrade or repair it yourself. The freedom to use your software how you see fit, and alter it for your current project. The freedom to learn how your system works, as well as make improvements. And for us, the freedom to make the best product possible for our users.
In reference to the American Revolution, the 76 in our name declares our independence from proprietary empires through the freedom that open source technology provides. Will you join us?
Our Mission
We build open source computers, keyboards, and software, empowering creators, makers, and builders to unleash their potential.
Our Vision
To create revolutionary open source tools that help others transform the world as we know it. What will you make?
Our Values
We’re innovators. We’re not here to reinvent the wheel. We’re here to dismantle the wheel, see how it works, and remantle it into a warp drive. Take that, wheel.
We’re open. Like one of those neon signs in the window, but for our minds. (And our code.)
We give a science. Everything we make is the result of user feedback. You want more battery life? Done. Manufacture computers in-house? Yep. Find a speeling error on our website? We’ll fix that, too.
We’re nerds. And we’re proud of it. We even have lasers.
We’re us. We believe in our work because we believe in yours. Whether you’re building robots, sequencing DNA, developing firmware, or going to space, we want to help you get there".
So why Pop OS over other distros for soon-to-be-former Mac users? I'm assuming there's something particularly compelling in this regard, since you aimed this post at Mac folks specifically?

Pop Os! is a great way to enter the linux world with an out of the box type of solution.
