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.

    Cheap, or second hand laptops, aren’t as good as new laptops. Whether the difference is worth it is a matter of opinion, but the difference between a $350 machine and a $3500 machine is extremely obvious.

      If it’s a ThinkPad second hand can be just as good if not better than new/modern I’ve found
