That’s the thing, i want Linux to mess around with it with Steam and Proton and the like, but I need a computer when Things Go Wrong.

Although my iPad has been very useful! I even did my taxes last week no prob.

I don’t recommend installing Linux on a ARM Mac just yet. It’s very much still a WIP.

I want to eventually make the switch, but I’m nowhere near being there for my productivity yet.

Gaming on the other hand…

I remember I mentioned Asahi Linux for ARM Macs once, but its only available for M1 + M2, and as far as I know it does not run on M3 + M4 — and it is indeed a Work-in-Progress, yep.

It is a shame because Linux is amazing for gaming, while MacOS is great of creative/productivity stuff, and the two together would be perfect (at least, until more software gets ported to Linux directly and I can eschew other operating systems completely – but I'd rather have MacOS than Windows 11)

But Linux is a lifesaver for any older Intel Mac that Apple no longer supports — I can recommend the Action Retro Youtube channel for some showcases of that.
