Would be super interested if any person on this planet uses this as the main driver.

I do.

I do, for work at least. Works nice aside from the lack of USB-C monitor (mine has a HDMI output so not a huge deal for me.)

		In the dev branch now! https://asahilinux.org/2026/02/progress-report-6-19/ I will attempt to use Asahi as my daily driver once this is officially released.

Not the M5.

It eventually will. But OP never asked about M5 specifically.

		No, but OP was comparing the pricing of brand new laptops, so it was implied that they wouldn't be M1/M2 hence not supported by Asahi.

		Eventually in this context might be 4+ years from now.

		AFAIK Asahi development needs some hypervisor features for reverse engineering macOS drivers that only exist on M1-M3 and were removed on M4+. So yeah, it may be several years until they get support (or never, if nobody steps up to do it).
