Thread 106267311

Are ARM macbooks worth it yet? I'm tired of my stinkpad.

Totally

>>106267311 (OP)
the hardware is good but macOS is absolute garbage.

how dumb are you that you're literally filtered by a webpage that requires less than 10 minutes of reading?

Nice gatekeeping, nerd.

Apple discontinued Tahoe support for Intel Macbook Airs, so if you want the glass ui you need the ARM versions. Expect MacOS 27 to discontinue M1s too. Apple is now a "disposable vape" computer company.

The one with M4 pro chip is pretty much the ideal laptop, with the sole exception of not having a physical delete key
moving from winblows to macos kinda sucks desu but at least it's nowhere near as obnoxious at trying to funnel and upsell you into whatever dogshit they sell, there's no ads in the start menu, nobody's taking screenshots of your screen so they can sell your data etc
all in all 7/10

not for linux if you intend to use thunderbolt.
asahi got spit in the face by linus and the community. linus is compromised anyway, dead end.

>>106267631
good morning saar

>>106267654
what are the alternatives (in general)? any non-compromised devs?

>>106267654
>not for linux if you intend to use thunderbolt
use case for 120 GB/s on your fucking USB?
>>106267666
TempleOS, obviously

>>106267581
>research
you literally posted a single webpage, retard. I don't think you know what the term research means. This is just straight up reading, not research.
I repeat, how dumb are you that you're literally filtered by reading?

external monitors for one.
right now only hdmi and native displays work on asahi linux. so having 6 thunderbolt port studio only gives you one display.

nobody sane should buy a macbook and install linux on it

>>106267581
Windows 11 requires a usb stick with drivers if you use a non built in wifi chipset or ethernet card because Microsoft insists on internet setup now. And they are actively removing workarounds in 25H2.

My 10 gigabit ethernet card is one of the devices without built in drivers.

>>106267551
No M3/M4 support still, and M5 is coming soon too.

Every time.

>>106267705
why would you want to install some shitty linux on your mac

>>106267716
yoo just gonna continually commit felonies against you until you give me a cut of your money bro, "i'm taking credit for that" and "you wont do shit"
$0.00
Get fucked retard.

>>106267762
apple is in for bad times soon given the sheer amount of headwinds from all directions (US, EU, Aus, JP, everybody's shitting on them lately). I'll give it 2 years before it enshittifies and starts shitting everything up with ads and upsells like windows does
Would I actually install linux on a mac? No, but I would prefer to have the ability to do so if needed.

>>106267311 (OP)
I installed macos 26 beta and now spotlight takes up 700GB out of my 1TB SSD

>>106267688
what are they using in hongkong and taiwan?

>>106267311 (OP)
Sure! Be sure to pay extra for 64 GB of RAM.
