If you have an M1, ur only option is Fedora Asahi Remix. The microphone and usb-c displays dont work yet but there is a fully conformant opengl driver. It will act as a second operating system so you will still have MacOS on your machine. You can dip your toes into GNU/Linux that way.
This means u can play minecraft on it but not say, install games with only x86_64 binaries. You can watch Netflix with DRM widevine but you won't get the full battery life as you would get on MacOS (but still really good). If you are looking to game then u should just get a Steam deck (which still allows you to pirate games and you don't have to buy anything on Steam to use all its features). Gaming is still a x86_64 dominated space.
