Yes, and a gazillion other user do, too.

And the same goes for iMac, MacMini in all variants and so on. The small
tweaks eventually needed also apply for Debian.

I would have bought other hardware than from Apple, but nothing compares
to it in terms of quality IMO.  Or can you tell me which other
manufacturer does hardware like that? Looks good, superb energy
consumption, recycable, extremely silent... just the OS is not my thing. ;-)
