> After reading articles last year on Linus insinuating it would be "unlikely" that Linux would appear on the M1 [...] just like nature, open source "finds a way". Not necessarily. Reverse engineering the unknown architecture and porting the Linux kernel to the new machine is impressive work that we should support and celebrate. But making it to be a usable desktop or laptop computer (e.g. with functional power management, 3D acceleration and other drivers) is another matter. See Nvidia graphics. Even after 10 years, some cards are still not fully supported by Nouveau due to the lack of documentation. I'm afraid that Apple M1 is going to stuck at a similar state for a long time - technically, Linux boots, but it's not a machine you'd like to browse the web, write code, or carry around.
