Yes, you can run the latest Linux. Linux now has native M1 support.
Yes, Apple did finally fix the awful keyboards on its laptops from 2016-2020, and their keyboards are once again quite good. The trackpad is what it has always been: the best on any computer at any price.
I'm not aware that Apple offers any kind of on-site warranty service, so that's a no, but the flipside is that you are much less likely to need it than you are with PCs. (Please, spare me the endless downvotes for saying this. I support hundreds of PCs and hundreds of Macs, and have for a couple decades now. I'm not just making this shit up for my health.)
- kcb 5y ago>Yes, you can run the latest Linux. Linux now has native M1 support. Lets not promise the moon here. The M1's Linux support is far from complete and definitely not ready for general use.
- Bud 5y agoThanks for the correction; it does have kernel support for the latest Linux kernel, but yeah, it's not a mature port yet. I do expect that it will have full support very soon, however.
- ac29 5y agoUntil the GPU has reasonable OpenGL and/or Vulkan support, some things are going to be pretty painful. I dont think that's happening any time soon.
