@AsahiLinux Thanks for the answer. I think for longevity, I'll go with larger storage. Since it is not a trivial investment, upwards of AUD$1700 for 256 13" and a little over AUD$2000 for 512 13" the larger storage makes sense.
So I kind of assume the system in Norway is not unique, but I would like to know. Does your country have a similar system? Does your country provide you with a pre-filled tax return for you to rectify and modify?
@AsahiLinux I will be in purchasing an M2 mackbook air in the not too distant future with the intent of installing Fedora Asahi Remix. Considering that most work I do will be on external NVME drive and only using OSX when I need to, do you recommend that I get the 512GiB storage or will 256 be plenty? TIA
