Apple makes some of the best laptop hardware. Linux is the best OS. Your main choices are:

1) Run an inferior OS on Apple hardware.

2) Run Linux on inferior hardware.

3) Asahi Linux on Apple hardware.

What you choose depends on the trade-offs you want to make.

Sounds like some people in this thread have had success with option 3. I have tried but I have failed. I'm hoping that Asahi continues to improve. I have several laptops, I do a mix of 1 and 2.
