migration to wayland from x11? for waydroid
Idk, I just followed the instructions and it works. I did it on my frame.work laptop and on my 10 year old desktop made out of literal trash and it works fine in both cases.

A Framework Laptop Hacking Story
I bought a Framework Laptop a few months ago. I was really drawn to the idea of a laptop that I could customize and which was built with repairability in mind. That's a really great stance to take, and it didn't hurt that the laptop build and specs looked good, so I went for it. It was also cool that I could buy it with no memory, no hard drive, no power adapter, and no operating system, and supply those things separately. In general I was very happy with it, but it had one little behavior that bugged me. This is a long journey, but I hope it contains some useful information.

How I feel about framework
a small startup currently focusing on upgradeable laptops, see https://frame.work
-
Laptops with best Linux support (latest gen, battery life, performance)?
I looked at frame.work, but I don't want to preorder in a batch. So, I think we're looking in the right areas and I wouldn't stray into other brands because nothing tops the XPS build quality.

Help me choose my new laptop
Honestly if gaming is not much of a concern and you are happy to upgrade in 2-3 years again, MacBook Air will be fine. But if you have that much money to spend I’d recommend framework laptops. Since even iGPUs these days can handle most CAD software as long as it’s not too heavy project work and rendering etc. plus framework gives great upgrade pathway. https://frame.work
Honestly the only laptop I've seen that i would personally buy is the framework laptop especially with the 16" one coming soon with a GPU. Not a great choice for OP though since the 16" is still a few months from release iirc.

Is this sub going dark on the 12th?
Framework has frame.work, its own forums, and other ways to communicate to its customers and base.

Any linux oriented laptop you guys recommend?
https://frame.work is your best friend.

Nice
Is this website out of date? Saying audio and wifi not working on several models still. Looks like it was updated a few years ago though.

On Replacing My MacBook Air M1 with a ThinkPad T480
That used to be a good solution in like 2015, but there are generations of Macbooks whose Linux support never includes working WiFi or audio: https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux

Tim Cook: Users Who Want to Sideload Apps Can Use Android, While the iPhone Experience Maximizes 'Security and Privacy'
The common areas where people have gotten stuck is wifi, built-in audio (with workarounds for people who plug stuff in through HDMI or USB), built-in keyboard and touchpad (again, with workarounds for USB devices) and suspend/hibernate. I wouldn't expect them to ever get the touchbar or touchID working.

Gnome Shell on the Apple M1, bare metal
I didn't mean that T1 was directly responsible, but running Linux is quite difficult after T1/Touchbar MacBooks were introduced in 2016.
WiFi and audio devices still don't work on most models released after that: https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux
> The T1 had zero impact whatsoever on getting Linux running.
If you define running as "Linux boots", than this is correct, but as the the T1 chip provides access to the Touch Bar which is necessary to have function keys, I'd argue that there was indeed impact of the T1 chip for Linux essential compatibility. Also access to the webcam is provided by the T1 chip and required a quirk to work, as well as Touch Id, which isn't even supported at all yet.
What the parent comment was probably referring to is not the impact of the T1 chip per se, but of all changes Apple introduced with the MacBook Pros featuring the T1 chip, like a different way of interacting with the input devices, a different setup for audio and Bluetooth, a new chipset for Wifi and so on. The sheer number of changes caused these devices having a pretty bad compatibility with Linux when they came out and even today there are still a lot of unsolved issues around audio, Bluetooth, Wifi and other components [1]. And of course some features like the extended capabilities of the Touch Bar or the Touch Id sensor are still completely unsupported.
Btw: T1 MacBook Pros also required a quirk for NVMe, because Apples implementation back then also wasn't standard-compliant [2], [3].

What Apple alternatives are you switching to?
Linux laptop or desktop: https://linuxpreloaded.com/ or customize a desktop yourself
You can checkout compatibility of hardware components @ https://linux-hardware.org/
It's of course possible to keep your Macbook, do the environment some good (less waste) and run linux on your mac: https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux
Phone: a phone that supports LineageOS ( https://download.lineageos.org/ ) or GrapheneOS ( https://grapheneos.org/faq#device-support ). Neither are perfect:
- LineageOS still has some google config but at least it doesn't have Google Services (use microG for that https://lineage.microg.org/ )
- GrapheneOS only runs on Google Pixel devices so you will be putting money into Google's hands
