I’ve seen people talking about it and experienced it myself with a server, but why does Linux run so well on ARM (especially compared to Windows)?

    Even I am interested in running linux in M1 macbook pro. Which distro have you used for that?

        I have tried that but it has quite some missing thingsmaking it hard to use it as a daily driver. I may be wrong tho

          It’s a very very fast moving project right now. I am waiting for my work to get me a new macbook pro but from what I’ve heard the latest is very good. Pretty sure it’s a rolling release so if you install it you need to check for updates frequently

          Definitely. It is still in alpha, so nowhere near a stable release. I believe that in the next year or so most of the things will get ironed out

      Ooops! I meant to type ‘Macbook Air’. I’ll leave the goof up to give your comment context, but I don’t have a MBP these days. I used the initial Asahi release and I’ve been upgrading it in place for a year or so.
