I feel like we’ve gone full circle. For decades Apple hardware sucked and was badly overpriced, but you paid the price to enjoy running Mac OS X. Now Apple makes amazing hardware (especially laptops) but the drawback is that you have to run macOS on them. I really wish Asahi Linux had more support, I would have bought a couple M4 Minis. | ||

That's going the opposite direction not full circle. Hardware bad, OS good is now hardware good, OS bad. | ||

Without knowing your specific workloads, I'd imagine an M2 Pro Mac mini (which is supported by Asahi) is still plenty fast. | ||

That's not a full circle, a full circle would be if Apple later returned to badly overpriced yet enjoyable macOS again | ||

If Asahi Linux had support for Thunderbolt and DP alt-mode I would be running it today, but those are dealbreakers for me unfortunately. I'm donating to them and hoping they eventually get those implemented. | ||

If you don't need the battery life of a MacBook and you're happy getting a desktop device, there's plenty of machines running new AMD chips that are just as fast as an M series mac, if not faster. And they'll run Linux with no compromises. Check out Bee-Link (https://www.bee-link.com/) for some mac-inspired hardware. | ||
