just_another_person comments on How is Linux on the M1 Macbook Pro?

submitted 1 year ago by Auth@lemmy.world to c/linux@programming.dev

I'm looking to pick up an old M1 macbook from my work if I can slap linux on it and turn it into a usable laptop. Its the A2338

I'm most worried about hardware support and running into constant wifi, keyboard and software bugs.

Does anyone have experience using this class of device with linux?

Basic stuff is fine, but anything video or gaming related is a struggle. I've also noticed the power saving benefits aren't there.
