I actually switched back to Asahi on my M1 Macbook Air this weekend, and while it works well enough for me to stick to it for now, I would definitely not buy Apple Silicon hardware for Linux next time. I’m running Fedora Asahi Remix on Gnome with Wayland for reference. Fingerprint sensor isn’t working, microphone is “WIP” according to the feature table, etc. Battery life is significantly worse, especially standby, so if you use it for traveling a lot it’s not that great. I might boot back into MacOS if I bring it with me on vacation honestly. It is also not nearly as “smooth”. Scrolling stutters etc. Nothing that actually impacts the speed of what you do though. This is probably not an issue for most I would think, but for the Norwegian keyboard I had to manually edit the config to get access to the apostrophe: '. In general, it is a bit annoying that it has a different keyboard layout than every other computer I use.

There can be some compatibility issues, Discord isn’t or at least wasn’t running on Linux Arm, but there are 3rd party clients that do. Games are probably also not great, although I can’t say I have tested after the Vulkan update. Last time I went back to MacOS so I could play Balatro on vacation. Other than that I don’t really use that many apps on my laptop, and haven’t missed any.

Then there is a Gnome specific quirk: touchpad scrolling is way too fast, and it isn’t configurable in the settings. There are some “hacky” workarounds around, but they seem to be outdated and failed on me. For now I have just adjusted the scroll speed in my browser to like 20% of the default and it seems to work okay. You do kinda get used to it I guess. You can adjust scroll speed in KDE just fine, so if you prefer KDE that isn’t an issue.

It is fascinating how little this correlates to the Tesla stock price. It has dropped a bit, down 8.4% in the last month, but it still up 80.8% over the last 6 months. I´m curious what kind of business model the shareholders is expecting from Tesla that does not involve selling cars.

For all the criticism I have heard about this game, I haven’t seen anyone say it’s buggy or runs poorly. The problems people have with the game are way beyond the scope of bugfix patches, so it kinda makes sense to me that the game is as good as it will ever be.
