Framework 13 AMD 7040 Series: A Developer's First Impressions
I'm not sure they appeal to the same group of users. macOS is IMNHO much worse than GNU/Linux with a proper window manager, much less comfortable to use with multiple desktops, and forces the use of a mouse/trackpad way too much.[1]
The m2 can run Linux - but external display support is probably a long way off.
So for the user wanting to run Linux - m2 isn't really viable - unless you actually work on it with just the built-in screen - for me that doesn't work ergonomically.
I have the m2 - it's not terrible - I suspect I'd prefer one of these.
[1] Rectangle and AutoRaise helps a lot, making the UX livable:

New Mac user -- Is there a good way to allow click-through on all applications yet? This is my main gripe with macOS, everything else is really amazing.
There used to be third-party tools to enable focus-follows-mouse and universal clickthrough, but I'm not sure any still exist for recent OS versions. Seems like it should be possible though. Maybe AutoRaise can do what you want? Looks like you'd need to compile it yourself with custom flags though. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67258537/focus-follows-mouse-on-macos

[HELP] "Mouse Over" on web elements even when focus is on another windows (Possible in macOS?)
*PS* I have already tried AutoRaise (https://github.com/sbmpost/AutoRaise). But, basically what it does is: Change FOCUS on mouse hover. That's NOT what I need.

Make Mac usable for Linux user
AutoRaise for focus-follow-mouse. I don't want auto raise, so that is disabled https://github.com/sbmpost/AutoRaise

Annoying unnecessary click
People discussing this a long time ago (stackexchange) mention a project called AutoRaise. No idea if it still works.

focus-follows-mouse might be counterproductive with Ventura's Stage Manager
On the mini, I was running AutoRaise. On the Macbook Air, I was running AutoFocus.

MacBook Pro M1: Select context across monitors/windows without mouse click
I don’t think there is a setting in built (happy to be corrected). Had stumbled upon this sometime back. Check it out. https://github.com/sbmpost/AutoRaise

Select context across monitors/windows without mouse click
Install AutoRaise or something similar that allows you to focus on windows just by moving your cursor over them or hovering over them while holding a modifier key.

AutoRaise - A Focus-Follows-Mouse Implementation on Steroids
I am hesitant on whether to classify your feature request under AutoRaise or FinderFix as it seems to belong halfway between the two apps. Do you mind submitting it meanwhile to the main synappser repo until I decide where it belongs? Thank you.

A Roadmap for FinderFix
On May 24th, I opened FinderFix to public beta. A couple of days later, I noticed a sudden surge in the number of downloads. I am a regular reader of HN and Reddit where I have seen software thrust overnight into the limelight, so my first guess was that someone had posted about it. Seeing nothing unusual on HN, I headed to the other usual suspect and there it was on Reddit!

Ask HN: 如今,保持匿名开发者的身份仍然是可以想象的吗? (Ask HN: Is it still conceivable to remain an anonymous developer nowadays?)
I was caught completely off guard by FinderFix (https://synappser.github.io/apps/finderfix/), the first application I'm opening to public beta, making the top row on Reddit a couple of weeks ago. This sudden limelight is both an opportunity and a challenge.

Ask HN: Is it still conceivable to remain an anonymous developer nowadays?
HN has been my morning coffee favourite read for years now but it's my very first post. I'm an old man, so please bare with me.
I am a seasoned systems architect and developer, now retired. While I was tempted in the first few weeks of my retirement to just turn the page and let it go, I remembered how much I used to enjoy writing small utilities for my own daily workflows. A year ago, I asked my fellow forum members (a Mac-dedicated one) if they would like to beta test some of my applications (and oh, they did). I got high quality feedback I would not have gotten elsewhere. I kept striving to answer their feature requests and today many of my first beta testers are insisting that my applications have outgrown the private beta.

I am not complaining. Any publicity is good publicity and I got this kind of genuine enthusiastic feedback: "OH MY GOD! Bro you’re a god sent. Thanks man I love this app. Also that Cmd + X for cut/paste. Oof so good!".
I however cherish anonymity and I laud the Internet for allowing me to enforce it. I am thus publishing my software under a pseudonym (a pen name, if you prefer) with a free Apple Developer Certificate. How long will I be able, with Apple's current Gatekeeper policy, to preserve my anonymity if I were to turn this hobby into a real business, albeit a small one?
For more context, please refer to a couple posts of mine (a manifesto of my core ethos):
http://synappser.github.io/blog/
I guess this is a tough question to answer, unless you're an Apple insider, but I'd really appreciate any guidance you could give me.
Thank you
