Comment on Qualcomm says most Windows games should “just work” on its unannounced Arm laptops
turbowafflz@lemmy.world 8 months agoIf linux support ends up being reasonable for these I’ll seriously look into one for my next laptop. I’m always so envious of how my friends with apple silicon macs can just never really worry about battery life.

Honestly I don’t even care about x86 software support that much for a laptop. The only reason I would want it is games and I rarely use my laptop for that. If I really needed some x86 thing I could always connect to my desktop remotely

Is putting Linux on a macbook not an option?

I haven’t looked in a few months but it didn’t seem like the Asahi Linux project was necessarily ready to be a daily driver yet, but they’ve made a lot of progress in just a few years with a small team of volunteers and as far as I know no support from Apple. Seems like it’s only a matter of time before they really get it nailed down. For now you can run ARM versions of Linux in virtual machines on Apple silicon.

Yeah this is pretty much my thoughts exactly. I wish there was an ARM (or eventually maybe even RISC-V) Framework laptop, maybe someday

Lenovo already ships these www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/laptops/…/len101t0019
I don’t know much about them beyond knowing this.
