After struggling with the absolutely awful driver support for the 2017 13 inch macbook pro on linux (thanks, apple), I just decided to give opencore a try, and patched it to run Sequoia, just so it at least has functioning audio. Frustrating that it was necessary, since I still don't care for MacOS, but at least the laptop isn't incomplete in its functionality.

I've been looking to taking a lot of my media consumption offline and away from streaming services. Does anyone have any recommendations for good but affordable offline DAPs? Currently I'm looking at the MECHEN M30

Interestingly, temps have just not been an issue anymore once switching to MacOS. On Ubuntu, streaming 4K video would result in the temps spiking to 100 C on the CPU (which goes without saying is not a good temp for a CPU to be running at), but on MacOS sequoia, the laptop chase does not heat up pretty much at all, and the fans don't even kick on unless I'm steaming 4K video, rendering stuff in the background, while-
-browsing the web. Sure, the laptop is much slower than the M1 lappies that I have, and it does run MacOS sequoia worse than it ran Ubuntu, it still is totally usable, just takes a little longer for things to open before they've been cached on boot.
The keyboard is still awful. I hate the butterfly keyboards so much.
Have you ever messed about with coreboot / libreboot?
In general, like on one of your thinkpads
Yes I have! I have a corebooted chromebook running arch linux, and am gonna use one of the old thinkpads I got for free in bulk a while ago to experiment with librebooting myself
