MacOS doesn't throttle performance on battery like many Windows power plans do, that's why

MacOS doesn't need to throttle performance because ARM and other RISC architectures are naturally very power efficient

They didn't do it on x86 either I believe.

Well those Intel CPUs used to thermal throttle anyway in their outlandishly inadequate cooling designs so they did not need to throttle power either way. Now they could throttle power but don't have to

If only I could get wifi to work on a linux partition, it would be the perfect linux machine.

The wifi worked fine for me on Fedora Asahi, macbook air m2.

Maybe you can buy a USB-C Wifi interface that's small enough. Assuming there's something like that.
