I keep asking, surely, I'm not the only potential customer: where's my ARM 64, Linux Mac mini equivalent? I'd settle for a laptop form if I must.

For me the ARM64 Linux Mac Mini equivalent is... a Mac Mini. Got my homelab server running as a vm in the cupboard, hooked to a couple of NVMes in a tiny Thunderbolt enclosure, works great.

The Elite X2 is near release and supposedly on par with these M5 numbers:

It also has hardware AV1 encoding support, so depending on your workload, it can be significantly faster.

You're not the only one. I think there's 12.

Way, way too much of the value of Linux for me comes from Wine/Proton for me to ever want a Linux arm64 desktop.

A server? Sure, I guess.
