New MacBook Air with M2
Is there anything out there that can run linux that has battery life like this?
I'm debating just getting one and running a linux VM full time in it.

That’s what I’m doing — I use Canonical’s Multipass and it’s flawless.

How’s the battery life on Linux?

Dunno, haha. It's running on my M1 MacBook Air and I haven't noticed a single affect on battery life. I literally have it open all the time, in addition to probably about a hundred Chrome tabs, and the battery life is still insane.

AMD 6xxxU has really good battery life.
