I’m very curious about the new Apple M1. The specs sound really great and the battery life is impressive. However, I don’t need one now and have other things to spend my money on. I probably have about a year or so with my MacBook. It’s slow but seems to still get the job done for what I do with it.

Plus, that should give them the time to get more stuff ported natively to the new chip. Maybe even Linux? I think Linus has a too little faith. Never is a pretty long time and I have a feeling that porting might not be a huge stretch since there already versions of Linux that run on ARM. But, he is absolutely right that it’ll take a while to get the GPU drivers sorted. That’s hard enough even with support from the vendors.
