I wouldn’t buy a Mac to install Linux on it for a number of reasons, but I assumed someone somewhere had tried to install Linux on Apple silicon and I was correct. Apparently, asahi works on it: https://www.linuxnest.com/how-to-install-linux-on-a-macbook-m1-m2-m3-intel-the-complete-2025-guide/

It sounds like limited support, and I honestly have no idea why someone would do this. I think a better path to even alternative silicon Linux (non-x86 stuff) would be buying some type of ARM.

That’s all achievable fairly soon, within two decades maybe.

Sure, if there’s: (a) investment in it, and (b) engineering and research behind it.

The person in the article is doubting that there will be A, and the way things are trending in America I doubt B will occur here.

Political stability isn’t just a “nice to have” it’s “table stakes” as the suits are fond of saying. People are not going to achieve much advanced research in a country that is actively collapsing.

But who knows? Maybe China will crack it.
