Comment on Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme crushes Apple M4, Intel, and AMD in new benchmarks

Windows with an X2 Elite or Mac with an M5.
Let me know when these X elite chips have full Linux compatibility and then I’ll be interested. Until then, if I’ll stick with Mac, it has the better hardware.

Friendly Question: has M4 full linux support?
Toes@ani.social 3 weeks ago
No, neither does M3. You can read more about this project here: asahilinux.org/docs/platform/feature-support/m4/ Even M2 and M1 support is still being worked on.

I think I see what you’re saying. My gripe is that if I want a laptop/tablet with a great ARM chip, with long battery life, my options all force me to use one of two operating systems that I’d prefer not to use for ideological reasons. If I’m forced to use one, because I want an ARM device, I might as well use the one that has the best hardware. M5s are right around the corner and the MacBook Airs are really competitive.
If I misinterpreted your question, then no, as far as I’m aware, none of the M series has FULL support. The M1s and M2s are pretty close though.

Not who you asked, but at bare minimum macOS continues to be certified UNIX.

GNU is Not Unix.

Absolutely ture, your comment being? I think they were simply referencing the fact that there is a lot more software out there that can be made to semi easily run on linux/unix based systems.

Man… I knew this answer would come. 😀

M1 still doesn’t have full Linux support, unfortunately. They’ve done a lot of good work, but it isn’t there yet. Yet, another reason not to buy snapdragon PCs yet.
