And luckily there are plenty of options out there for people who want to attach peripherals to their laptops. I’m just not one of them.
My ideal device has two C ports on each side and a solid trackpad like the mac books do, just without all the apple bullshit of locking stuff down. @tuxedocomputers, pretty please 👀
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.
I wish… unpopular opinion but I love Apple’s approach with the MBAir. I want a skinny device with 2-3 C Ports max.
I’m done with USB A, on the rare occasion I need it I gladly use an adapter to improve portability the other 90% of the time. Any hardware made for Linux by non-US companies has several A ports, a few C, ethernet, HDMI, SD card… nope, I got a tower with all the ports. My portable should stay portable.
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
