In the age of Apple Silicon, what's options are there for native Linux?

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a new laptop for programming work.

I would prefer to use native Linux, but it seems like nothing comes close to Apple Silicon for battery life, portability and performance.

Which brings me to my question, should I suck it up and buy Apple Silicon, try Asahi Linux, or go with an x86 Dell, Thinkpad, etc.
