Shit, just linux.

Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts

Asahi Linux on MacBook air questions (lemmy.world)

I'm debating trying to get my hands on a used m1 or M2 air for the primary use case of leaving it on my couch so I can quickly look stuff up. I thought about going with a chrome book, but all the snapdragon powered ones either have sketchy support or are expensive.

I also want it to have a small form factor so I think I want a MacBook air. I don't have any interest in macos (which I use for work) so I was debating putting Linux on it.

Has anyone had experience with asahi Linux, or the fedora spin? Could you share what works/doesn't etc?

Is there a better option I'm not thinking about?

I have an iPad Air tucked into a leather couch pocket for just this reason. I pull it out and jump on Lemmy when we pause for my partner to go to the bathroom or make a snack. Sometimes, you just appreciate a bigger screen.

Yeah fair, that's just a different reason to solely to look something up, which is what I thought OP meant.
