FWIW, I've been running Asahi Linux on a used M1 Macbook Air for about a year and the ability to have a mobile Linux machine that isn't always tethered to an electric outlet is wonderful! It seems magical.

That said, I do still keep the MacOS on a partition for the usual office apps like zoom and the like and full hardware support for the things like the camera, but that isn't as important to my usage as having a compiler and editor so YMMV.

Unfortunately, Linux support on the Apple Silicon hardware is limited to M1 and M2 only at the time AFAIK.

I will also say that Linux on a Linux supported Thinkpad like the T-Series works well too and I've used those for over a decade. They just didn't have the same kind of battery life, but all the hardware 'just works'.
