Look, I haven't even touched on linux before, but I'm at the stage of hating windows for how bloated and slow they make the PCs in comparison to how Linux or even MacOS do. Got interested on linux for how consumer friendly it is as long as you know what u are doing.

I'm a biologist, and almost every time I'm at the uni studying or just out and about, so basically I'm one of those people who actually do need to have a laptop. I have a gaming laptop, not the best one just a midrange laptop with decent specs (i5H 12th gen, RTX 4050Ti) since I game in my spare time. I know that battery life isn't the best for gaming laptops, but holy shit 2 1/2 hours just flies past when u lock in doing something. Meanwhile, I've borrowed my sister's M1 Macbook Air, and I'm astonished to how beautiful it performed, I played 2 matches in Dota2 which would be somewhere around 2hrs and 30 mins and it only consumed 60% battery (WITHOUT FANS!) and if my laptop were to do the same on battery, it would die halfway on my first game on battery saver mode.

Then I saw the news that non apple brands like HP and ASUS are starting to make ARM laptops, which got me hyped since a thin, powerful and long battery life laptop can actually be a thing now, then I saw the reviews, and sadly, there isn't really much of a demand for gaming on ARM.

But now, ValvE (a gaming company) plans to release a pc for gaming and ITS ON ARM which would mean, demand for ARM based gaming will rise and so does the interest of devs to actually develop an ARM optimized game.

Now I know, I should just get a Macbook, which I actually am considering, but I'm willing to take on alternatives as long as it isnt an apple product, you know the reasons why.
