From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

the m1 is fine with asahi. i don't personally own one but i've worked on em in the past and its getting better by the day still.
idk about the m2 but it seems fine. people complain about the battery life being worse on asahi.
it's gonna be years before arm laptops in general hit the scene in a big way and they'll have the same problems that smartphones and sbcs have (weird non mainline kernel support, etc).
that's not to say it isn't happening, just that it's happening slowly. you want to be in the big common platform as the transition to arm happens and like it or not, that's apple.
if i were you i'd get the m2 and dual boot asahi. when its broke you still got the apple os that works fine.
