I have been running Ubuntu on my 14 inch Mac for a little while now and it works great. This project here is also really exciting.

Also, Windows ARM with the recent updates also works well in the new base 14 inch. I've been using it daily, no issues.

I have nothing but praise and swiftly switching between 3 OSs sure is neat. This computer is sooo fast.

I can see myself using this Mac for many years ahead.

How are you getting Windows ARM on a mac? I thought it wasn't available yet because of some kind of exclusivity agreement.

It'll be VM, use Parallels as it has better Windows 11 ARM64 support. You do not want to use Windows 10, it doesn't have x86-64 app compatibility like Windows 11. GPU acceleration is decent but no DX12 support yet.

I've been using Windows ARM on M1 as my primary work PC device since ~January when I got a 13" M1 MacBook Pro. I now have a 16" MacBook Pro M1 Max. Can share particulars of my Parallels config or answer any questions.

What is Linux graphics performance like? Can you comment on battery life also compared to the Mac OS running?
