which linux-compatible laptops, would you say, come the closest to compete with the new generation of Apple products?
When there's a technological jump, there's not much you can do.
There's not a laptop you can buy that close enough to the M1-based MacBook Air or MacBook Pro to matter really.
You can't get something as light, as powerful and with the battery life these machines have.
Look, Apple demonstrated Debian running in a VM on an Apple Silicon Mac in June, so we know it's possible. And I'd bet dollars to doughnuts it's blazing fast.
You saw the comments in the article; people are talking about more than a day without having to plug these devices in. People are rendering 8k video while doing other stuff with no slowdown and without hearing the fan, in the case of the MacBook Pro.
These machines can drive up to six displays using DisplayLink adapters. Just nuts.
