Same here. Great computer. The only thing I am missing is a bit more reliable support for waking up external monitors. Between my now two m1/m1 max macs and 6 screens I use, one (an Asus 2k display which is slow to wake up from sleep) often requires unplugging to wake up. That is not a m1 issue - its been like that with macos since... forever, but it's irritating.

One big thing holding me back from jumping on one is macOS. I’m sure it’s ok but I’ve been using Linux for ~25 years that’s a lot of muscle memory to lose. I really wish apple supported Linux better.

Hope Asahi Linux will get mature and be daily driver usable in the near future.

I use a 4 monitor setup for my workstation. I switched to a desktop computer in part to not have to deal with this exact issue with a MacBook.

What is your monitor layout?

I have those 6 screens plugged to two different macs, so just 3 on each. Big screen in the center, and two in portrait mode on the sides. One uses 43" 4k for the center screen, the other uses a 34" ultrawide.
The m1 max drives its displays directly, the m1 via a starlink tripple 4k displaylink hub.
The problems, in my case, are specific to monitors that take a good few seconds to come back from standby. Macos seems to be impatient and considers them dead. I am down to just 1 screen with this problem, and will replace it at some point.
