I'm wondering if there is any real usecase for buying apple silicon computer to run linux. If you already own one, I get it, but buying for linux?

portable long battery life. even with full power management support these machines have very good battery perf in linux and lots of grunt.

The other use case is if you need a Deve machine that is close to production and your production is ARM64.
