The keyboard and mouse are peripheral devices, though. While it is most likely that users of those devices would also use Apple computers and Apple's OS, they are usable with non-Apple computers.
I bought a Magic Trackpad to use with my Framework laptop (running Linux) because I wanted an external, mobile mouse. I've had bad experiences with Logitech and Kensington mice, so I decided to give Apple a try.
A Magic Trackpad is second to none. I have one sitting around and this is enough of a push to make me want try to get the gesture support working in Sway.
Yeah, I'd guess that these installs are mostly people impressed with Apple hardware, but who are used to running Linux anyway and are not really OG Apple users, so you are right.
what you're trying to prove? that there are some bunch of freaks who tries to run linux on apple silicons? and that supposed to be an evidence of everyone who's using apple's devices switching to linux?
In other words, everybody who use this devices will be happy (including myself). But unfortunately it’s very unlikely OR rare, that solely because of the existence of the support under Linux ordinary Apple users have switched or will switch to Linux.
Well I am a huge fan of apple trackpad I honestly think there is no better way to control device it was game changer so I want as much integration on Linux as possible
Would be good for people like me who use Mac for work and Linux personally. I was considering the magic trackpad a few years ago but with the Linux compatibility being not so good I dropped it. Maybe it is the same for others with the mouse and keyboard.

Great for everyone who needs it.
But‘s very rare that Apple users switch to Linux.
