No, android does not count.

Is there anyone who daily drives Linux on apple silicon or other ARM hardware? If so, then how is your experience, would you recommend it?

For at least 3 years, I’ve been wanting to get an apple silicon mac to daily drive Linux on, lately I’ve been seriously considering getting one of these machines, or even other ARM hardware, like the thinkpad x13s or even the new Qualcomm laptops.

I’m pretty much sold on a used macbook air m1 at this point, but I still wish to hear what other people have to say

    Raspberry Pis are also ARM-based, and you can use them as desktops. Only problems are that they aren’t very powerful for media usage (e.g. video editing, 4k video decoding on youtube, blender etc). If you’re not into such high performance media production, then sure, they’re fine for everyday usage.
