I’m looking for an Apple MacBook Air M2 alternative that could run Linux.

I need something fanless, super lightweight with very long battery life. The only apps I use are Shotcut video editor, Chrome and Firefox.

Any advice?

Is it a good idea to get a MacBook Air m2 and use something like Asahi Linux or should I wait for arm linux laptops to become available.

      Where did you pull that from? Both amd and Intel has 20W class cpus that compete with base m-series cpus while being based on older nodes

          OK it seems all ‘15W’ cpus from those brands boost much higher so the wattages aren’t as good as I thought but here are some that still compete:

          M3 - 3nm, 20W
          Amd 7840U - 4nm, 30W, 15% slower on single thread and 20% faster on multi thread.
          Intel 1365U - 10nm, 25-55W, 15% slower on multi thread
