I used Linux on my desktop for many years and also on and off on my laptop but since I got an M1 laptop at my previous job and since bought one for personal use, the Linux/Windows x86 laptops just can't seem to compete for my use. As you mentioned, particularly battery life is stellar on the M1.

> the Linux/Windows x86 laptops just can't seem to compete for my use I still find it surprising. Not the M1, but the impact the battery life has on my perceptions. In so many ways I prefer Linux (and Windows) to the Mac. I also prefer the hardware on ThinkPads (and even my old HP ProBook) because whilst the build quality isn't there they have vastly superior keyboards, ports, and/or matte screen. And yet it's always the Air I pick up because it's always the Air I know will launch virtually instantly and run for hours.
