Given the current amazon price of $750 for an m1 and the rapid progress of the asahi project (arch and fedora) I don’t even understand how this is even a question? Are you seriously asking for advice or do you just want people to argue with you? The fedora devs came out and said the asahi system on m1 is the reason they were able to qualify btrfs as the default fs for fedora, so that should tell you something.
- smoldesu 3y agoYou can go get a new-in-box Pinebook Pro for $199: https://pine64.com/product/14%e2%80%b3-pinebook-pro-linux-laptop-ansi-us-keyboard/ https://pine64.com/product/14%e2%80%b3-pinebook-pro-linux-la... And look! Their Mali GPU even ships with compliant OpenGL and Vulkan drivers. Now that's rapid progress.
- zer0zzz 3y agoThe Mali T-860 driver from Panfrost was developed by the dev that is now working on Asahi today, so yeah I expect the same rapid progress. The PineBook is probably the best M1 alternative given the price and driver support, but Snapdragon not so much unless they're at some significant discount from what I saw last.
