I think the only real arm laptop that runs Linux decently is a Mac. I have a m1 pro I repaired for cheap. I installed asahi on it, which went crazy smooth (after Mac-OS stopped messing around). It does not feel different or faster than my other laptop. The batterylife is quite long though.

Its nice for coding and web, but its missing stuff:

• flatpak, apt and the like need to offer arm versions of a package, not everything is available. (For example Signal is missing, video codecs are missing)
• can’t watch Netflix (video codecs missing)
• external monitors are not working yet (it should be close to a release)
• I had Linux force stop some apps because ram was full (I played factorio, and I think one time this happened as well with freecad or so?)

So in the end, you can get it working, for me its too much pain for too little change

I would recommend a Mac m1 air with 16gb ram and 500+ssd.

The asahi website shows what macs are supported, m1>m2>m3 etc

My frame work 13 has to me the best keyboard. Its really nice and clicky and has a nice long travel. Compared to some Lenovos and other devices i tried I like mine the best.

The touchpad is ok. Its not a Mac touchpad but its ok I guess

I don’t understand where this doffers from other single bit vectors used already for quite some time. Is it just that the algorithm is more precise to reduce the 32 bit into 1 bit, than other compression models?

Its about 2 years with Linux on my laptop and about 1 year full time on all my devices, besides my work laptop with runs w11.

I run KDE neon on both. I distro hopped around from Ubuntu, fedora, mint, KDE, pop but ended up with KDE again. I feel like it does not matter anymore what de or distro I use. I need my browser and a terminal and my tools, then i can work.

Its nice having a reminder every time I am working with windows that I did the correct choice.

There are some bugs, but at least tgjey are mine now.

Only thing I miss, is ableton. I did not dabble in it with wine or winboat too much, but that’s the only thing I miss.

But worth it. I stand behind the idiology and got a few other people around me to switch

There is a paywall
