Linus reviews the new Mac Studio lineup. To nobody’s surprise, it’s overpriced and has borderline illegally misleading marketing.

It’s a shame they couldn’t nail the top end because Apple Silicone is honestly really impressive.

Even for me as a Linux guy, the M2 MacBook pro is probably the best laptop I’ve ever used

Yeah, I’m getting very curious about Mac laptops but I’m only going to bite the bullet if Linux has good ARM support. I really don’t want to use MacOS.

Very fair. I don’t mind it personally - zsh is zsh, homebrew is a capable package manager, and Aqua is reminiscent enough of gnome, but with better gesture support on trackpad.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought Linux has fine ARM support. IIRC, the issue was reverse engineering the drivers for the hardware included in the M-series Macs?

Unless they’ve gotten into the sex toy business, I think you might mean Apple silicon ;)

To be honest, if the M1 could play more games without a ton of translation going on I’d be using it right now. The computer was truly nuts. Linux has been perfect tho.
