I always ask about battery consumption... Apple seems to be on another galaxy right now. I decided to stop waiting and installed Parallels to run Ubuntu there... I really wish the best for Asahi Linux.

Any issues or things you wish you had known with your current Parallels/Ubuntu set up? Asking since I've been considering doing the same thing

I'm actually thinking of switching from a Mac back to the PC, since everything is done in a browser anyways, regardless of the system, but the lack of the fanless laptops in the PC world isn't promising.

ThinkPad X13s Snapdragon was fanless, but it's a bit old now, plus, only 2x USB-C, without any USB-A ports, and a screen that doesn't open 180°, unlike any other ThinkPad, meh.

The x13s is still quite quick and useable - especially since you can pick them up for a song on the used market. The display only opening to ~135 degrees is a bummer though.
