The installation was really smooth, very impressed. Hope this becomes my daily driver now.
Something which I didn't know/expect is that it's a dual-boot setup. I kinda thought I'd be blowing away my macOS installation, but it's not. It shrinks down the macOS partition and creates its own, so you can jump back into macOS at boot (long press power button when turning on).
How is the battery life?
I...don't know. Been on charge this whole time.
It would be the biggest reason for me to get an M1 honestly, kinda sick of laptops with 4-5 hours of SOT
How’s the current experience? Trackpad, keyboard, audio? I’m really excited for this but my only ARM Mac is work issued so I can’t take the plunge yet…
Trackpad is a bit 'quick' but I guess I'm comparing that to macOS. Keyboard seems fine, need to get used to using ctrl instead of super for copy-pasta, etc (but I've made that transition once before I guess!). Audio is working via bluetooth, but speakers it's a no-go.
How’s the hardware support? I have an M1 Pro, waiting for basic touchbar drivers… btw, speakers work yet?
So far, no speakers. Bluetooth working for audio for just now, which I'm fine with. What I'm struggling with is the lack of VLC...that's not something I expected.
There isn’t arm VLC yet? I’m shocked
It's a bit confusing. Not in the default repos. Added rpmfusion repos as per the vlc site, same thing. Had to add it from the flatpak store in the end.
Thats not bad, the Flatpak works well.
How is ARM support on Flathub?
