>Who would buy a Mac and put Linux on it?
Some people might buy a mac and put linux on it to help out asahi linux with testing/troubleshooting etc, or because they like the hardware more than what other brands offer. Others in this comment section are running Asahi Linux as their daily driver apparently. There really isn't an ARM machine on the market like an M1/M2.
> you could buy a faster Intel or AND machine
Genuine question, what intel or AMD chip is better than the M1 or M2? Are you referring to desktops, laptops, or both?
I get that you can buy/build a very good machine for less money than brand new Mac, but is the performance really as good as the m1 or m2?
- midoridensha 4y agoYou can easily get better performance than Apple's chips. The catch is that the power consumption will be bad and your battery life will suck. People aren't buying M1/M2 laptops because of raw performance.
