Hello everyone!😁
Is a M1 (8gb RAM, 256gb storage) 13" macbook air good enough for coding?
This will be my first macbook, so I don’t know yet how I’ll like it. Would it run Linux (maybe Windows too) aside from ios? I’ve heard that it needs some workarounds. Would there be limitations running Linux?

It depends on what kind of “coding” you’re talking about. If you want to do some python, c/c++/rust it may be enough. If you’re planning to do full stack dev on Java and all the javascript framework hell you could end in some trouble if working on heavy projects, mainly because of the 8 gigs of ram
There is an experimental linux distribution far apple silicon processors called “asahi” linux, but it’s still in development.
You could run Windows ARM in a virtual machine but… Why on earth would you do that?
