I agree with @gibbitz and @wmf. Whilst Apple Silicon has excellent battery life, that is only true if you're running macOS - that efficiency is lost when you run Asahi or other Linux distros (and I say this as an M1 MBA owner).
There's also the Snapdragon X Elite if you want a different ARM machine, but it has similar issues as where not everything works under Linux.
So at the moment, x86 is still the best bet if you want full Linux compatibility, and ThinkPads in particular have the best Linux support.
- smartbit 2y agoLong time Lenovo user here, considering switching to frame.work. Do I understand you don’t recommend frame.work for Linux?
- d3Xt3r 2y agoI can't speak about Framework because unfortunately they don't ship to my country. :( Although from my understanding they work well under Linux, but their battery life isn't great (under Linux). Maybe someone who has a Framework here could clarify.
