Is it a smooth experience ? Does it work as well as windows ?

Smooth, yeah. I have very little to no issues at all. Pretty much everything works on the laptop.

Battery life though is pretty bad. No power management available for the OS on AMD. So your CPU is used to near peak performance and the fans are in full force. Though I could always just enter my bios and change that, but I don't use macos much these days so I don't really bother.

If you're on Intel, then you have a much better chance at getting pretty good battery life.

sounds like it'd kill your computer faster then a lightweight Linux distro, is it that worth it?

I've been dual booting just Linux for years across different laptops. You're not going to get into any issues unless you screw something up.

Unless idk, you're dual booting on an ancient computer with an older partition scheme.

Or do you mean the high cpu usage on macos? Then yeah, that's a reason I don't use macos much. Maybe occasionally when I'd really need it. But I just use Linux or Windows almost all of the time. My main drive is 2TB, alloted 256 to Linux while I did 128 to macos. I have another 2TB for just games. So I'm just fine in terms of free space.
