Which notebooks are recommendable when coming from Apple Silicon-MacBooks in terms of runtime and efficiency, preferrably for Fedora or Manjaro with KDE Plasma? For now, I am looking towards Lenovo T14(s) or X1 Carbon - mixed use scenario including simple media (photos, cutting 1080p-videos, media management, Office & mail) stuff? Still love the "Lenovo"-brand and its keyboard and look 'n feel so this vendor would be my favourite.

Can anyone of you here recommend Snapdragon-devices yet which would be the best comparison as it's also architecture based on ARM? Both Fedora and Manjaro have ARM-builds so I hope that the Snapdragon-devices could get along with my desires here...

Thanks for any input!

I'm assuming you're familiar with Asahi Linux?

It's still very much a work in progress.

At the moment I'm bridging the gap by using homebrew, UTM, ssh into local hardware and shortly remote desktop on EC2.

It's far from ideal, but that's where I found myself after my x86 iMac died last year, so I feel your pain.
