They say that you can't run Linux on M-series Macbooks because of Apple's closed ecosystem... but that's trivially false? Apparently this guy's not heard of Asa

They say that you can't run Linux on M-series Macbooks because of Apple's closed ecosystem... but that's trivially false? Apparently this guy's not heard of Asahi. You can absolutely buy something like an M1 MBA and daily drive Linux on it. I think you need to keep a MacOS partition around and boot into it to update device firmware and such though.

Extra usb display? Mic? High refresh rate? Not supported yet. They didn't elaborate on the details, so it's hard to disprove either interpretation.
