Linux might work with your hardware, but it might not work well. If your vendor is hostile like Apple, it will be hard to make it keep on working.

- gf000 10mo agoIs apple really hostile, though? For the boot process, apple went out of its way to support booting alternative OSs without compromising on security. And mind you, most other laptops are no friends either. E.g. the often beloved ThinkPads have a bunch throttling issues on non-windows OSs.

That is an ACPI issue. Intel Macbooks also exhibit this behavior on Linux and BSD, and it's not even close to how incomplete power management is on Asahi.
