I will need to get a laptop in the foreseeable future, and I really want to stick to Linux. However, I may need to be out-of-home for 12+ hours straight in a day. After some research, it seems people are generally not that impressed with battery life on Linux?

The laptop does not need to do anything heavy duty, as I will remote back into my already very beefy desktop back home.

I guess a common solution to this light use case is M2 MacBook if one wants to completely throw battery concern out of the window. Well… let’s just say it’s a love-hate relationship.

    Intel or ARM?

    The battery life on Apple Silicon (at least on MacOS) is so good it’s bonkers. I’ve been curious about how well Linux does, but I haven’t successfully gotten a Linux distro w/ desktop fully running on my M2 MacBook yet (driver issues).
