Bad choice. They’re all evil. AMD is still the least evil despite this, but there’s nothing even close to a viable alternative. AMD is the best we’ve got.
USB4/Thunderbolt support is still very preliminary and with 2 ports on MacBook Air you’re going to have to use a docking station to connect displays and peripherals. It’s getting there though and hopefully it’ll be usable by the time they’re EoL’d. Can’t wait because with each MacOS release I feel increasingly like a victim of bait and switch.
Worth noting that OpenBSD is also making progress.
Seems like my next CPU/GPU won’t be AMD. How is Apple doing lately?

Maybe, i don’t know, but iam more willing to buy something else or refurbished atm.
You think any of these CPU makers don’t love Ai and aren’t supportive of Ai?
I dont know, but more important for me it looks like some support openly DHHs ideology. Whitout any shame.
If you buy 2ndhand m1 or m2, the fedora Asahi remix works pretty good IRL. No, m3/4/5 are not ready, far from it.

As long as my current setup works i won’t change anything, but yes, Asahi and a used/refurbished Apple product could be a solid choice in the future.
