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.

That laptop is 5 years ago old. Business policies normally require replacing laptops at age.
Were you given the laptop because someone else got a new one? I would ask for a new or at least newer model.
Asahi/Fedora Linux is apparently mostly working on Apple Silicon. I’m using it on a Mac Mini as a server without problems.
I'm still a ways out for an upgrade unfortunately. We generally use them until they're no longer usable for what we do. My development team is kind of the exception at our company, since we're the only mac users there aren't as many standard policies for our laptops yet
