    Such an unbelievably talented and driven group of people. Having a full blown version of Fedora on Apple silicon would probably convince me to buy a macbook for my next laptop.

        after using the m1 air, I’m sold on arm
        it doesn’t have fans so no complaints of noise (my old laptop gave me ptsd of fan noise and I’ve also heard framework 12th having fan noise as it has a single fan coupled with a p-series processor)

        I’d love to see amd/intel make an arm chip as microsoft also seems to pick-up the windows on arm thing

          I don’t think there are any laptops that have no fans. What if you have a workload that exists, is the cpu just supposed to overheat?

            that’s because apple uses arm chips which are much more power efficient than Intel and amd’s x86 chips

            it mostly uses 15-20 watts or around that which is easy to dissipate than 45-50 watt Intel and amd produces which requires fan

            I’ve heard even the most powerful m1 max chip doesn’t need fan when video editing (which can go for continuous 6 hrs on battery and you don’t see a performance hit when charging or on battery)

              The MacBook Air with the M2 chip is fanless as well. If it gets to hot, performance is downgraded.
