I’m looking for an Apple MacBook Air M2 alternative that could run Linux.

I need something fanless, super lightweight with very long battery life. The only apps I use are Shotcut video editor, Chrome and Firefox.

Any advice?

Is it a good idea to get a MacBook Air m2 and use something like Asahi Linux or should I wait for arm linux laptops to become available.

    Do it the Linux way and remove the fan yourself.

    Just kidding. Or am I?

      Rip out the fan and connect the processor heatsink to a heatpipe

      Then carry around a cup of water to dip the heatpipe into

      This is not a bit, I am a real hardware designer
