Same. Recently bought myself a M2 Air as a birthday gift for myself. 8GB, chucked OpenBSD on it and couldn't be happier. It does what I need, battery lasts long and easy to chuck around.

TIL you can run OpenBSD on apple silicon. With how much effort has gone into Asahi Linux, I'm surprised.

OpenBSD has had support for a bit over four years (v7.1, though the earlier v7.0 had /some/ support).

OpenBSD 7.1, 2022-04-21 -- https://www.openbsd.org/71.html

R/AsahiLinux posting from around that time, only one comment -- https://www.reddit.com/r/AsahiLinux/comments/u8rb2o/openbsd_...

Running anything on Apple Silicon is result of Asahi Linux effort.

Only M1 and M2 machines though. M3 and up is still missing.

It has no graphics acceleration, right? Doesn’t windowing feel sluggish?

99% of the time I run dwm + emacs, most of the browsing in eww. The occasional 1% that I run a browser is negligible. The scrolling lag doesn't bother me too much. I basically run it as a distraction free machine with long battery life.

No temptation to open Youtube or other distractions.

Just an emacs session with code and notes. Forcing myself to read the man-pages first before googling anything.
