Yeah, but my point was how many users of Macs actually install Linux o their Macs?
Is it a significant share of the MacOS market making this switch, or is it basically just a rounding error in the grand scheme of things?
And to correct you, Linux GOT installed on Macs when they had standard PC HW so Linux kernels had native support for them, but in the current state of Linux on the M1, there's so many things not working[1] due to Apple not using PC HW anymore, that I doubt Linux will be suitable for daily driving on M1/ARM Macs anywhere near it was on X86 Macs anytime soon. And I doubt Mac users will put up with Linux on their M1 machines if a lot of peripherals that worked on MacOS, don't work well on Linux.
