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.

I have an M3 but the battery life is not that great -- because you still want to run a Linux VM for actual engineering.

“Actual engineering” is incredibly subjective.

Arguably, more people do “actual engineering” on macOS and windows.

Really? Could you please arguably name something that you'd subjectively consider to be "actual engineering" and that you'd want to do on macOS or windows rather than on Linux?

(the comment you replied to was clearly arguing quality rather than quantity, so that's what I'm asking too)

* AutoCAD (Drafting)

* Inventor (Mechanical analysis)

* PLAXIS (Geotechnical finite element analysis)

* Aspen HYSYS (Chemical process simulation)

Probably a pile more that I don't know off the top my head.
