I wonder if it is good to just get one and run Linux on a VM. Would that work better than an x64? Anybody knows?
Linux in a VM would work with the usual caveats. Periphery like the built-in webcam most likely won't work. Getting codecs and DRM to run will be pain and you'll be back to use macOS for that quickly (but that's just standard pain of ARM Linux).
Touch ID is the least of the problems, but the other two are more serious.
Valid. USB-C displays are on the horizon, the rest will take significant time (and might never materialize, it's difficult to reverse engineer).
> Because I don't like MacOS
Then spending thousands on modern MacBook will be a subpar experience, no matter how you do it. But yes, Linux will run OK inside a VM on a MacBook.
Whoever is happy with MacOS, uses MacOS, whoever is happy with Linux (or BSD) uses Linux.
I guess a great deal of devs/techies would migrate to Macbooks.
I don't know if it is corporate greediness or corporate stupidity.
If your proposed change increases Mac sales by 1%, but only 0.1% of users install Asahi, they lose money.
I'm still watching out for Asahi progress, amazing project. USB-C displays and the M3 will come (and I don't care to much for the rest), that makes a refurbished macbook air an attractive proposition.
