I hope that when my current laptop dies, a somewhat libre and linux-friendly alternative with an ARM chipset will be on the market.
You mean Libre ARM or Libre-friendly ARM?
RISCV ?
Yeah, I was thinking RISCV. There’s no thing such as libre ARM. Unless he was talking about Libre-friendly which could mean a proprietary SOC company submitting driver code to the kernel.
When will we see fanless models? That is one of the defining features of the M1 Air.
And they thermally throttle due to the heat.
Not necessarily. I own a passively cooled x86 laptop that runs just fine without throttling - granted, it’s based on Celeron series CPU, but when we talk of ARM laptops, we normally don’t talk powerful machines - Macs are rather an exception.
