Saw a thread about this on Mastodon earlier, which made the entertaining point that the people who put so much effort into running macOS on non-Apple hardware are now putting as much effort into making Linux run on Apple Silicon. And I’m fine with that.
I have a 15” M2 Air, and it’s the best computer I’ve ever owned. It’s super-fast for my needs, can play most games I’ve thrown at it (at varying degrees of quality, to be fair), and the battery lasts a ridiculous amount of time. But I’m painfully aware that Apple want it to essentially be a big iPad, with their ability to EOL it the same they can an iPad.
Meanwhile, I have a 2014 Mac mini that I use at work and a 2011 13” Pro at home that are both running Sonoma just fine. Once Apple drops Intel support entirely, those two machines will be done with macOS. At that point, I’ll likely put Linux on them, and hopefully Asahi will be in a place that it’ll be great on my M2 Air.
