There will be some inconveniences, but the reign of desktop x86 can't come to an end fast enough.

The jury is still out. There's some problem with booting other operating systems natively (BIOS support?). If people can get that to boot up, Linux on ARM runs fine.
Apple has never supported Linux on Macs, and yet people have run it successfully, myself included.
Also note that many (maybe most?) people get Apple computers in order to run OSX. Linux users are a tiny minority - even Windows users are quite niche.
I’m not angry about anything. Was just offering my POV. My point was, given Apple’s recent history, they are going to lock down apple computers even further now. Last I checked, you could not run anything other than what was “approved” by Apple because they GLUED an ssd to a motherboard. Now that they call the shots on the CPU(you know, the actual computer), they might require people to log in with their icloud-crap account to just play candy crush on a computer. And not that I care about karma, downvote away. But you all need to chill.
