Macbook for coding (alien.top)

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?

🙂

Windows/Linux I'm familiar with. Apple os would be a first, so I was thinking having the option to run the previous 2 is important.🙂

c/c++/rust Yes. But I was thinking of learning Java next.

I'm looking at a macbook pro (refurbished) 13.3-inch m1 (16 RAM & 512 SSD) for 1200 €. But I was reading about the touchbar in that model saying that it should be avoided for security reasons. I don't have the link, so I have to look it up now. I think I misread it.
