I was thinking about buying a Macbook Air and run Linux on it, just for the battery life. But then I read this shit and yea...

Also the current Linux offerings for Apple Silicon (M1/M2) are very much “Beta”. And have some serious battery efficiency issues, don’t currently support audio drivers, have some peripheral problems, etc.

Looking forward to using one once they get them up to speed though.
