I switched from a Thinkpad (Arch) to a MacBook Pro M1 Max.
- M1s wakeup incredibly fast, like no time, and using it with the finger print reader the whole experience is like an iPad. It’s really good.
- I run Rust and cross-compiling is a bit of a pain, and some tooling is not supported yet for the M1 architecture.
- The usual feeling when coming from Linux: The beauty of configuring your system via the terminal is gone.
- You can finally run games again without issues. Not supported (non AAA) title run so well via Parallels or Crossover.
- Battery life and temperature is a dream.
The bottom line: The M1 is an absolute dream for Notebooks and I will never run an Intel Notebook again (at least until I see parity with M1 in terms of speed and battery life). macOS is still sadly not comparable to the good old OS X days and can be annoying, but no show stopper what-so-ever. I love it.
