Hello everyone!😁

Is a M1 (8gb RAM, 256gb storage) 13" macbook air good enough for coding?

This will be my first macbook, so I don’t know yet how I’ll like it. Would it run Linux (maybe Windows too) aside from ios? I’ve heard that it needs some workarounds. Would there be limitations running Linux?

🙂

    Linux support on the Apple silicon should be considered experimental, and unless you’re experienced with Linux you should probably avoid trying to run it (except in a VM). Windows probably won’t work at all (except in a VM). If you’re going to virtualise other operating systems, you’ll definitely need more than 8GB of RAM.
