That is impressive and really hard to believe! I guess I'll have to find an M1 mac Mini to try myself!

#3All sounds good to me. What I don't get is how running on arm64 would speed up i3. I3 is already fast enough to be unnoticeable, hardly performs any expensive operations.

I believe they're commenting on the fact that the sway Wayland compositor seems faster than i3. Might be due to how Wayland handles frame rendering, but switching between the two I tend to notice a more "snappy" effect from sway

#5Depending on the country you live earth overshoot day is pretty soon. 128GB of RAM and other specs for a workstation certainly sound like overshoot. I'd wish smart people would use their brains and saving resources instead of wasting them.

Everything you run on it, though?

Not that hard to believe when you consider the hardware specs for Apple machines are so heavily locked down to a very specific set of mobo, cpu, and only variability in core count, ram amount, hard drive size, etc.
It's not like PC world of mix and match everything.

Not everything will work.
Once upon time I tried to make CTF with M2 Pro, and I seriously wished that I had x86_64 Linux instead.
Many of the penetration testing tools are not mainstream and they include pre-build x86_64 binaries, or are configured just to not compile with ARM, for reason unknown. And there is no time to figure out what is wrong.
I know this might be a niche scenario, but still...

#9Imho the only relevant parts left are: Sleep (which is being tackled right now), USB-C Extra displays (Also WIP) and Hardware Decode for video.

640K aught to be enough for anybody.
