I’ve been running Linux for 14 months now and loving it.
My laptop is a HP Victus gaming pc, which is bulky and heavy, but Its powerfull.
I find myself laying on the couch more and developing from there half the time or doing laptop stuff more and more from the couch.
Lugging it to work and back is also not great.
In October I can buy a new laptop through work and write off half the price against tax, honestly I want everything a mac book offers.
Good solid build quality, not plastic. No GPU needed, just light weight, long battery life, shouldn’t heat up too much, good trackpad etc.
But fuck apple and their walled garden, so I want something Linux.
ARM is perfect for this, but does Linux play nice with it? What are my options?
Or do I just go with x86 and compromise
With ARM Macbooks, you need to look into what models are specifically supported by Asahi Linux. It doesn’t seem to work on the newest models, at least not right away. This means either the CPU not being supported at all, or possibly missing drivers for some of the hardware.
