I love my ARMed Mac because battery life. I almost never use the power cable outside.
And it’s really responsive even on battery. It’s actually a little bad because I can have too many windows open and can’t find anything.
MacOS doesn't throttle performance on battery like many Windows power plans do, that's why
Well it can when it needs to. It just doesn't need to much
MacOS doesn't need to throttle performance because ARM and other RISC architectures are naturally very power efficient
They didn't do it on x86 either I believe.
Well those Intel CPUs used to thermal throttle anyway in their outlandishly inadequate cooling designs so they did not need to throttle power either way. Now they could throttle power but don't have to
That’s correct. Sometimes the benchmarks are even quicker on battery because the charging process doesn’t generate heat
If only I could get wifi to work on a linux partition, it would be the perfect linux machine.
The wifi worked fine for me on Fedora Asahi, macbook air m2.
Maybe you can buy a USB-C Wifi interface that's small enough. Assuming there's something like that.
