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.

    How about Chromebooks?

    You can put Linux on most of them and they’re perfectly capable of (even designed for) running Chrome and Firefox.

      Not on all. Chromebooks are closer to a smartphone, meaning not all drivers are available for Linux.
