    Nice! I've been wanting to the same but I'm waiting for Asahi packages built for Fedora 40, also.

    niko-wonderous Linux running on Apple Silicon is the coolest shit ever that's hard to express in words.

    Flatpaks are a difficult issue since some flatpaks are built non-transparently using pre-compiled blobs meant for amd64, this is a problem on Flathub with some apps but I think fedora-flatpaks shouldn't have this issue (if it does then that sucks). Deep in my heart I also want to get an Apple Silicon machine since they are fan-less but the soldered SSD is a no-go, unless there's a new model with a swappable ssd (very unlikely), I can't recommend apple silicon hardware to anyone in good faith.

    Waiting for the RISC-V laptop that inevitably drops in China in 5-6 years that compares to m1 and amd64 laptops (more than 8gb RAM and swappable large SSDs). I can't wait to roll up to work with my Chinese laptop running entirely free software.

      Aren't there already MIPS based laptops available in China with Loognson processors? I've actually been meaning to see if I can get one where I live off aliexpress or something.

        1500 dollary-doos oh no ma'am i use linux cause im POOR /hj

        All this stuff looks really cool but it's still in its infancy right now and also Fedora doesn't have good support for RISC-V processors (they're still working on ARM and hopefully apple silicon speeds that up).

          Yeah I was disappointed seeing that too. I was hoping there'd be a cheap-ish netbook like variant just to play around with building and testing software for it. Though there are affordable-ish motherboards for desktops by the looks of it. Though keep in mind those are MIPS, not RISC-V. Both are RISC ISAs but MIPS has been around in computers much longer, but also isn't very popular compared to ARM so software compatibility bmihht be an issue. I think the largest use of MIPS architecture was the PS2 processor.
