I would love for my employer to support that config at work. We have quite lovely Linux dev laptops, but the battery life of the M1/M2 machines in the IT shop is definitely enticing, and Asahi Linux gets closer to MacOS in that regard than you might think given the relative maturity and optimization.



It definitely isn’t ready for use as a daily driver. There are lots of bits missing (see below for an example) and power management isn’t great compared to macOS.


How so? I'm daily driving it as my only machine since November.sure there are missing features but none that are really essential for most people.


You and I have very different work environments for you to be able to claim that microphones aren't essential for most people.


I use a headset anyway. Build in microphones are really shitty so they are frowned upon at my job. (Although Apples has one of the best).
