It can work, you just need to set this flag: Update Elixir and Erlang versions (#1939) · livebook-dev/livebook@6256b66 · GitHub

Goddamn, with the advertisement you gave, I went and bought myself a air M1 too.
The only thing I can say so far that is that I am impressed by the computing power this small device can output, compiling OTP while running on battery in about 15 seconds is so amazing that I couldn’t even believe it at first. Having worked previously with expensive hp and lenovo computers, it is strange to me that this consumer grade device can outperform by so much the “enterprise” devices.

The only con is the difference in architecture from prod, requiring you to set up a CI of some sort.
Other than that, I don’t see nor am aware of any regressions.
