Linux 5.19
Somewhat surprisingly, Linux support for Apple Silicon MacBooks seems to be shaping up to be <i>better</i> than that for pretty much any other laptop. The Asahi team don’t have support for everything yet (notably no GPU) but what they do have support for seems to be high quality, well integrated with Linux’s conventions, and upstreamed into the mainline kernel! How much other hardware can claim that?<p>The Asahi developers have also stated that Apple tends to keep hardware peripheral interfaces stable across generations (they speculate that this is to keep things easy for their own OS dev teams), and that this has so far proven to be true for M2 (and several iPhone generations before that), and thus once support is available , it should stay relevant for some time.<p>Given this, it seems like MacBooks could easily end up becoming the laptop of choice for Linux developers in the years to come.
