Was looking at getting a macbook air with an m1 chip in it and running Asahi Linux on it. My question is how viable is it for daily life? E.g. browsing, torrenting, uni notes ect. Would it be equivalent to a regular x86 laptop running Linux? Or would I be missing useful features?
You’d be making a few concessions, specifically Microphone, and HDMI out: https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/M1-Series-Feature-Support
That being said, those wouldn’t deter me personally, especially if I got a good deal on one.
