Same. Recently bought myself a M2 Air as a birthday gift for myself. 8GB, chucked OpenBSD on it and couldn't be happier. It does what I need, battery lasts long and easy to chuck around.

It has no graphics acceleration, right? Doesn’t windowing feel sluggish?
99% of the time I run dwm + emacs, most of the browsing in eww. The occasional 1% that I run a browser is negligible. The scrolling lag doesn't bother me too much. I basically run it as a distraction free machine with long battery life.
No temptation to open Youtube or other distractions.
Just an emacs session with code and notes. Forcing myself to read the man-pages first before googling anything.
TIL you can run OpenBSD on apple silicon. With how much effort has gone into Asahi Linux, I'm surprised.
OpenBSD has had support for a bit over four years (v7.1, though the earlier v7.0 had /some/ support).
OpenBSD 7.1, 2022-04-21 -- https://www.openbsd.org/71.html
R/AsahiLinux posting from around that time, only one comment -- https://www.reddit.com/r/AsahiLinux/comments/u8rb2o/openbsd_...
Running anything on Apple Silicon is result of Asahi Linux effort.
Only M1 and M2 machines though. M3 and up is still missing.
