I want to believe it will be great but even when apple was x86, linux was barely functional on the modern systems (2018-). Proprietary drivers for radio/sensors/audio were incredibly hard to get working and the blackbox security module they have made it nearly impossible to boot and use any peripherals. I was following somewhat closely for a long while and outside of hobby hacking, it was never a useable system from what I saw. Do you know if it’s looking better in that regard for M1? I’ve been out of the loop.
