I'm in a similar boat; while not as powerful as the new Macs, on a whim I recently bought a ThinkPad Ryzen 5 (one with 6 cores) with 24 gigs of memory. Running Linux. (To be fair my existing personal laptop was 8 years old and I was getting bored with it).
I don't know what to do to take full advantage of it.
The things I normally do on a personal machine can be done with a Raspberry Pi.
Years ago I used to contribute to Linux, Firefox etc (nothing substantial). I'm not sure if I want to go back to that.
For Firefox Mobile (Android), there are infact minor bugs that I face, but the patches for that submitted by other community members haven't been looked into for over a year [1] and this is not the only patch like this, so I'm not sure if I should even bother. I understand they're probably busy and/or overworked and/or have higher priority things to work on.
So I'm looking for suggestions to take advantage of my laptop.
