I wonder if it is good to just get one and run Linux on a VM. Would that work better than an x64? Anybody knows?

Why would you want to do that? Do you like the hardware that much, and also that much more than just an M2 (soon M3) running Asahi?

Linux in a VM would work with the usual caveats. Periphery like the built-in webcam most likely won't work. Getting codecs and DRM to run will be pain and you'll be back to use macOS for that quickly (but that's just standard pain of ARM Linux).

		Because I don't like MacOS and my understanding is that Asahi has issues with: * USB-C Displays * Thunderbolt / USB4 * Touch ID Touch ID is the least of the problems, but the other two are more serious.
