Among other things, I quite like the blog, especially travelling photos. There’s some ‘old Internet / old blogosphere’ vibe in it.

Nothing really add to the topic of having a MacBook Air M2 with Linux. Glad it works well, I’m eyeing an M1 one for myself. Yet my Retina (2014 model) works perfect with Arch Linux (including sleep), so I’m patiently waiting for it to break. And at the same me I hope it would work another decade, so good it is. Battery life is quite great, it’s between 3 to 4 hours with battery being at 50% of capacity. So, I expect the new battery could give me up to 8 hours, which is pretty impressive for me. In reality, I don’t need a session for over an hour or two. The only thing I miss is USB-C charging, as that way I could charge with anything when I have no charger on me. Again, in reality, it’s a pretty rare scenario.

I'm using Asahi on an M1 Air I got for like $400 recently. Is legit, super easy install. Don't have HDMI support, unfortunately, but that's not the worst thing. I wish I liked more of the hardware of linux laptop manufacturers :( I tried to support various ones a few times but they are all just "adequate-at-best" laptops in terms of battery, keyboard, audio, screen, etc

I had no idea you could run Linux on the M-series chips. My next laptop might be a used mac.

Make sure to check the compatibility matrix before getting a model not (fully) supported.

Thanks I'll keep that in mind!
