About time. This also applies to their older models such as M2 and M3 laptops.

In the U.S., the MacBook Air lineup continues to start at $999, so there is no price increase associated with the boost in RAM.

The M2 macbook air now starts at $1000 for 16GB RAM and 256GB storage. Limited storage aside, that’s surprisingly competitive with most modern Windows laptops.

    What distro would you recommend, I’m prepared to try over the weekend.

    How does it work with GPU drivers for a GeForce RTX 4080?

    Anything else I need to be aware of

      I’m running Fedora KDE on a Framework laptop and a custom built machine, but they are all AMD so IDK about Nvidia cards.

      As I’ve heard Nvidia nowadays releases Linux drivers.

      TBH I haven’t had any problems installing and using Linux for years now, I think just go for it and see what happens.

        So I actually did it and wiped my Windows PC, nothing on there I needed to keep.

        Set up Fedora and added the Nvidia Drivers.

        Shut down for a few days and in my next boot I downloaded CoolerControl. Then my networking died and I’m at a loss as to what happened.

        And people said it was just the same as using windows, yet me a massive nerd, software developer was stuck without ever having attempted to play games.
