No.

Linux is better.

That worm has turned, at least five years ago

for X_86 family for sure, but the experience on other chip set such as Apple Silicon (maybe the arms) for desktop usage are quite rough around the edges.

  • Never had issues with other ARM chips other than the Apple co-designed ones.

    Oh, and if you have problems running Linux on Macs... That isn't Linux's fault.

    • But Apple ARM chips currently represent most of the laptop and desktop computer market share for ARM processors. Sure, Linux in embedded and semi-embedded capacity works perfectly well with almost all ARM (and even RISC-V) processors, but I doubt most of the people here will be switching to raspberry pi as the daily driver anytime soon.

      Hopefully either Asahi support improves in the near future or Snapdragon X Elite support in Linux becomes a bit better.

  • Linux works fine on ARM devices. The problem is lack of good (non-Apple) ARM devices, not Linux.

  • "Apple silicon?" Man, how well does OSX run on a raspberry pi? Clearly it's the inferior OS. /s
