I’m debating trying to get my hands on a used m1 or M2 air for the primary use case of leaving it on my couch so I can quickly look stuff up. I thought about going with a chrome book, but all the snapdragon powered ones either have sketchy support or are expensive.

I also want it to have a small form factor so I think I want a MacBook air. I don’t have any interest in macos (which I use for work) so I was debating putting Linux on it.

Has anyone had experience with asahi Linux, or the fedora spin? Could you share what works/doesn’t etc?

Is there a better option I’m not thinking about?

    Funny you ask, I was trying to book an appointment for a local company on my phone the other day and it wasn’t rendering properly. It’s crazy to me in this day and age but it seems that there are still companies that have non mobile friendly websites. It’s happened a lot lately too, tried to order some food and the site used it’s own process for delivery, and didn’t render worth a crap on mobile. Basically a ton of little reasons why I want something like I describe.

      Gotcha.

      Personally I opt for ‘show in desktop mode’ in my browser when that happens. Hasn’t failed me yet but I imagine it will with some weird site I visit one day.
