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.

I’m curious about your experience with a M1 Mac on Linux. Are you using Asahi Linux then?
I to want answers, I thought m1 had security limits to install Linux or any other os.
It's obfuscated but not officially blocked. Their site is asahilinux.org. It's not worth getting a macbook for yet imo , but it's still super impressive, especially the graphics drivers. There are issues with Mac's built in security stuff but that just means the fingerprint reader and probably some other stuff doesn't work.
Interesting, thanks
