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.

    it's a "quantum leap" only in the original scientific meaning of "the smallest distance something can possibly move"

        The entire concept of "quantum" is that it's the smallest possible unit.

        A "quantum leap" is the smallest measurable change in electrical charge.

        The Planck length, based (it's a long story, links below) on that smallest possible charge, is around 1.61×10−35 m. (That's 0.00..00161, with about 31 more zeroes). Which is about as much societal/technical progress as I think Apple has made.
