I remember a few years ago Linus said he uses a macbook with Linux on it. I wonder what he uses now that macs aren’t x86 anymore.
Edit: all I can find is he is still using a macbook now with an m2 chip. For his desktop he has a threadripper CPU and an Rx 580

He’s using an old Intel laptop right now.

My memory is that it was an ARM based laptop. This story seems to confirm that: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/08/linus-torvalds-uses-an-arm-powered-m2-macbook-air-to-release-latest-linux-kernel/
I think it was the Asahi district.
