Good think almost all flavors of Linux run flawlessly on the x86 models.

True but also sadly as all the new models are a struggle to get working. So locked down they will likely end up much more in the landfills.

M1&2 are pretty much fully implemented in Asahi.

3 and 4 much less so. I hope the Asahi team can keep it up. But there's no guarantee.

My daily driver is an M2 Macbook air running Asahi Linux. There are certainly some hardware parts I wished worked better right now, but its fully for my needs usable as is. Improvements are occurring regularly by the development team. Apple hardware really is solid, and I'm very happy that in the rare cases I do have to use a commercial OS (Netflix streaming for example), I don't have to use Windows. Its a dual boot machine (Linux/OSX).

Overall I'm pretty happy with Linux on this M2. Theres a handful of us here on Lemmy running it. You can find us at !asahilinux@lemmy.world

I have a 2019 MacBook Pro and stopped updating it at Sonoma. The new OSes are just too much for that Intel chip anyway.

The M-series processors are amazing though, I've had such a good experience with them.

Just install Asahi or Fedora and get your speed back.

Right up until Apple drops support for them too

But can it finally run Minecraft better than a 10 year old cheap Intel?

idk, I use a gaming PC for that stuff.

The Mac's are for work and creation.
