I always look back at my old acer laptop with arch and i3 as my most productive environment but couldn't daily run it at work as every now and then screen sharing or video wouldnt work due to driver update and stall a meeting.
Given that new Intel and AMD options are much less power hungry, is going the ARM route worth the trouble?
With that said, on M2 Macs, every basic feature works, except microphone support. But there are still some annoyances like having to keep a macOS partition.
I mean, even when using paid-for drivers we encounter a lot of trouble, I don't want to live in this world there the HW manufacturer doesn't care about my usage.
I'll stay with Intel Graphics. It works just fine. If I report bugs, someone who is getting paid to fix those bugs will read my report and try to address it.
