It ran on a lame Intel chip, had no fan and could be taken anywhere: the 12-inch MacBook. Why doesn't it come with Apple Silicon?

MacBook Air M4: Really 23 times faster than the Intel version?

Apple is making some bold promises with its new entry-level MacBook. But it's the small print that counts.

New Mac Studio: chip confusion and up to 17,624 euros expensive

Apple offers two SoC generations in one computer line at the same time – and the older one is faster? Yes, that's the case. At exorbitant prices.

I just added a #TalosLinux 1.9.3 (#Talos) #Vagrant box to the #ARM64 collection. This allows you to run Talos on your #AppleSilicon #MacBook. This is control-plane only, but you can patch the manifest to also run workloads.

You can find it right here:

Finally, I threw away my M1 Air (okay, okay; gave it to my wife) and bought a Thinkpad e14 :)
I can't say those two years with Apple Macintosh were awful, but the Gnu/Linux is entirely a different thing :)
I know it sounds weird, but my financial conditions were the reason I got an M1 Air in the first place!

Same version of #LibreOffice installed on #Manjaro #Linux #KDE #plasma and on #macOS #Ventura.

How does the macOS look so absolutely terrible compared to KDE???? #AppleSilicon version . . .

Anyone have experience with #Ubuntu on a #AppleSilicon?

Yes!

Please!

I want this now!
