Asahi Linux[1] is unbelievably great on Apple Silicon. It's honestly the best Linux install experience I've ever had.

Yes, but only on M1 and maybe M2 devices. Doesn't work at all on M4.

Stability is an issue (as I tested it with M1 Pro throughout the years).

Not all of the hardware features are supported. For example no external monitors through the usb-c port.

Also the project seems somewhat dead, having some core developers leave the project.

I had high hopes for Asahi but currently it doesn't seem like it will ever be fully production ready for currently relevant hardware.


Unfortunately, while Asahi Linux runs fine on M1 and M2 with some missing capabilities, it doesn't run at all on M3, M4 or M5.

The M1 and M2 are still great laptops, so it's still a good experience if you're looking for a second-hand Linux laptop with Apple quality hardwre.
