    Good to know Dell makes these. I am running CachyOS on the 2020 Intel MacBook Air and it’s okay… she runs a bit hot, so battery life is about half of what I would get with macOS.

    As much as I like the look of Apple hardware, I despise them locking everything down. I’m glad there are smart people out there, like the Asahi project, cracking those macs open.

      The Dell I have (few years old; I don’t keep up with models) looks very much like a MBA. It works great, and I’m glad it runs Linux well (so far). I’m thinking about moving to CachyOS on my desktop.

      I’ll look into Asahi project!

        Asahi is great for putting fedora on the Apple silicon macs. But there are quite a few limitations (e.g. steam won’t work) so I would not recommend anyone to buy a mac for linux
