If so how is it? I’m heavily considering grabbing an M1 and trying it out if it’s in a state where I can be productive.

For context, I use an M1 for work and it’s awful only thanks to macOS. The hardware is excellent though. I can run an army of containers for hours, I can have OBS running in the background if I need to quickly record something, and I can have 2-3 JetBrains IDEs running without skipping a beat.

But I truly cannot comfortably use macOS in my personal space. I don’t really want to go into my gripes with macOs; suffice to say it’s not a route I’m willing to explore any further.

That said, I’ve tried to keep up with Asahi Linux but have not seen very much feedback from those who are using it.

If you are using it I’d love to hear some feedback on what you like or dislike about it. Does all your hardware work? Do all your standard linux applications work?

Edit: I dont really know how crossposting works in the Fediverse. Sorry if this thread shows up twice

    Butterfly keys were gone before the switch to M1, and those Intel chips could run all the software: still waiting for M1 compatibility on a lot of audio/visual production software.
