In fact, I just had a look:
The cheapest Mac Studio with the M1 Max costs "only" 2.299,00 € in the part of Europe where I live.
Just for comparison, I paid exactly 1111 € for my OEM-PC with an Intel i7-11700F + nVidia RTX 3060 Ti, so actually less than half of the cheapest Mac Studio.
And here's my GravityMark score with a slightly lower resolution, but otherwise exactly the same settings:
(But you got to give me bonus points for running the Windows version through WINE-Staging, plus translating the Direct3D11 calls to Vulkan via DXVK! )
System was Ubuntu Budgie 22.04 LTS running in OpenBox, because the Mutter-based compositor exhibited problems with unlocked framerates.
So, I think it's fair to say that my machine provides the better value, wouldn't you agree?
[But to be honest, I don't care about your opinion -- at all... ]
wow long can you run your computer compared to this: "Apple M1 Max measured TDP in GPU workloads is around 70W. The whole package can eat up to 120W."
i think if you calculate it over lets say 5 years you will find that your pc was not as cheap as you thought it is.Phantom circuit Sequence Reducer Dyslexia

i run fedora36 and valve steam works very well. i have all AMD hardware means i would not suffer from these nvidia problems.
but i ask you why more distros and more competition in the distro space ?
if you want to build your own system why not just run fedora ? or ubuntu? or Arch? and so one ...
is there anything you need more than this ? more distros do not solve any problemPhantom circuit Sequence Reducer Dyslexia

And could you please elaborate on those advantages of Apple & macOS that you are seeing?
Is it the longer battery life on the Mac Studio?
if you life in norway/schweden and your price is 0.10€ per kwh you do not care at all.
so it depend on your energy price if apple is expensive or cheap.
in germany we have horrible situation i can tell you this the corrupt politics of left-wing-marxists+greenCO2Satanists+Liberal-Traitors did shut down all nuclear power plants and shit down black-coal mining and shut down watter storage power plants because of the high cost of transport energy and shut down all GAS GUD (gas turbine plus water steam power plant) power plant and so one and so one.
whats why the price for electric energy is skyrocking in germany.
you make jokes about "battery life" but in the moment you get a german energy bill you will be a happy apple customer.Phantom circuit Sequence Reducer Dyslexia

both true cases where the criticism is painful but still true and even use dark rhetoric tricks to present points as critic who are plain and simple wrong or a lie but he presents it as true.
he is one of the most destructive writer here who is not permanently banned.Phantom circuit Sequence Reducer Dyslexia

I don't remember ever trolling about Linux on Phoronix or anywhere else.
you insult the regular linux user here on phoronix.com
and you are right thats not even trolling because trolling would be fun... you just insult us linux people.
tell me whats the benefit of insulting me and other people ? i don't get it.Phantom circuit Sequence Reducer Dyslexia

Myself trolling quite hard on some subject here, like Apple M1 lines that I call garbage (I have my reason, it's the truth at least for me, and I have something to back-up my statement). And almost certainly, there'll be someone that feel offended. But you, buddy, trolling about linux, in, let's say, the forums that the main focus is linux and used by linux user-fan-lover-zealot. The outcome is pretty obvious, right?

But frankly, this is expected, since objective benchmarks such as GravityMark show what a joke even Apple's very expensive M1 Max is, even when making use of its tailor-made Metal API & running natively on ARM:
Mac Studio (M1 Max, 2022)
Score: 15,114
AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT (with RADV on Linux)
Score: 16,467
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 (Mobile)
Score: 17,963
https://gravitymark.tellusim.com/rep...a4c036734bb5f9
Meanwhile Apple fanatics come up with headlines such as this one:
"Apple's M1 Max GPU is as powerful as an Nvidia RTX 2080 desktop GPU and the Sony PS5 gaming console"

I wouldn't be so quick to call the standard Linux users here zealots - I think most of us are better than that. I also don't think that's a destructive criticism - there are a lot of zealots in the Linux community and we could in general stand to be more open-minded, even if only to take on constructive criticism to help improve Linux as a whole.
Note that I say this as a daily Linux user and developer.
