As someone who daily drives a Linux M2 MBP: It depends if you can live with some caveats. The main ones are
- No sound from the speakers (unless you have an M1 as can be seen from this post). But headphones work.
- No external screen support
- No Thunderbolt
- No Fingerprint sensor
- No Video decoding/encoding acceleration. But the CPU is strong enough to easily keep up with 4k 60FPS. So you "just" pay for it with shorter battery life.
- No support for some important GPU APIs (Vulkan, OpenCL, newer openGL) which some application you use might need.
The above list is the current state and even a few months from now will probably look different.
- Wowfunhappy 3y agoWhat about the microphone? IMO that's a really big one, something you just expect all laptops to have in 2023. I suppose if you're using headphones anyway (since the M2 doesn't have speaker support) they may come with a microphone, but they may not...
- rowanG077 3y agoNo microphone unfortunately.
