Just an observation but if considering testing ARM64-Linux, Apple is actually a “budget choice” compared to:

  1. Low-volume Linux ARM64 laptops (few available).
  2. ARM64 server racks.

Especially if you take -1 gen Apple hardware, which you can get for bargain prices pre/post the next WWDC ;-) The laptop seen in previous screenshot is M1 Pro, and it is quite nice and fast , and that is even -2 gen.

@jarkko Totally. Loving my M1 Air running Asahi. Completely usable ARM64 machine.

@popey yep, my mac mini has been 90% brick if i don't use a DAW ;-) absolutely hate writing a single line of code in that environment... and VM does not compare to a host system really...
