How is the Linux on Arm situation currently? I mean specifically for desktop Linux?

  I think the popularity of the Raspberry Pi has sorted out most desktop use-cases.

  Asahi linux has a port for the M1. Accelerated 3d isn't supported yet, but recently his a milestone of a working rendered triangle. So not yet, but seems pretty close. Marcan has a Patreon if you want to support it.

    Is it actually supported to run Asahi linux on an M-series mac? Or is it kind of a sketchy jailbreak type situation?
    • sliken 4y ago
      Yes, fully supported. No jailbrake/security attack required. In fact Apple even fixed bugs in the bootloader that Asahi linux found. They seem to be intentionally enabling other OSs.

        Awesome! But I understand the bootloader is still locked down on iPad, even though it's the same SOC, correct?
        • sliken 4y ago
          Sadly, yes I believe the iPads are locked down and would require a jailbreak.

  Pretty much every distribution and software package is available in ARM64. You will not miss anything.
