This misses the point entirely. What happens when apple inevitably discontinues support for this hardware. | ||||||||

i have no idea how you think apple silicon will discontinue support for itself. the hypervisor framework documentation, that i linked above, is pretty clear; the linux builds for arm run extremely fast on apple silicon because hypervisor framework gives them hardware access, in some subsystems directly (memory mapping for example), in other systems through a shim (graphics hardware). | ||||||||

The same thing that has previously happened with discontinued Intel Macs or PC hardware that is no longer supported by Windows. You can still boot Linux natively on it. | ||||||||
