God that would be the dream. Linux on the M2 π

The chips are the barrierβ¦
I've always valued software freedom over hardware, and I don't really feal limited at all. But then again, I'm not editing 4D movies or doing quantum computing, or whatever MacBook people are supposedly doing on their laptops I guess π
The M1 Max has been a huge benefit to what I do. Battery power is night and day. But I am actually editing 4D movies, recording high quality audio, creating a few dozen gigs of media every day or two, running numerous Ai tools that hog TF out of resources, have a few terminal processes that stay active, and I have 2 different browsers open with 100 tabs in each at basically all times π€£π€£
With this thing literally maxed out for the MacBook I could get, I literally crashed it the other day because the combination of Davinci Studio using a bunch of 4K footage in an elaborate Fusion rendering and then transcribing one of my podcast episodes while talking to GPT4all just ate every ounce of RAM I had. I was literally writing to the drives to move the mouse around on the screen. I tried so hard to quit processes before it completely shit the bed but keyboard strokes werenβt even registering for like 10 seconds π
I've got an M2 air... One can only dream ... But some of these dreams have a way of becoming reality.
