As a longtime Mac user, my only hope is that this will bring down the cost of used PC laptops. Because I really need a portable machine for Linux.
Have you tried the Framework laptops? Speccing a DIY option gets you pretty close in price.
and you have to use sub atomic units to measure battery life
No but I am definitely considering it!
MacBook and Linux is not a happy combo tho, right? At least with apple silicon?
Nah. I have an older MacBook pro running Linux as a home server and it works great. Asahi Linux only works up to M2 Macs and even then the usage is limited.
may I ask how you're using it?
my "homeserver" is currently just a samba share on a raspberry pi with a big usb HDD, wired into my router.
my current homeserver is a pi 4 running serving a samba share with a big usb HDD, but I also run containerized / dockerized services in portainer. It easily handles jellyfin etc. You can do a surprising amount with a pi.
I mainly just use it to run Jellyfin on a simple Tailscale SSH.
Is it an Intel MacBook?
Yeah and it runs so smooth using KDE Plasma.
