Anyone running Linux on their M1 (or M2) Mac?
Here to share my journey.
https://asahilinux.org/ with Fedora is working really well, but got some annoyances due to the limited software available for aarch64.

The good things are:
- I learn to compile more things - looking at you Signal and Keybase
- Power efficiency and shared memory without the closed garden
- Fedora seems to be a very good distro (coming from Debian)
- Webcam, speakers, USBC ports just work

The (not so) bad so far:
- will think twice what software worth the hassle and no closed source stuff is available to build
- will need to master some emulators like qemu and Box86/Box64
- The built-in microphone hasn't been reverse-engineered yet
- Fingerprint sensor won't work
