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.

Lowkey not worth, you can get much better performance laptops for the same price
A QEMU VM running ARM would probably be a better experience for testing cross compiled code, than a reverse engineered distro on unsupported hardware.
Yeah, it's an impressive amount of work and more options is always a good thing, but there's really no reason to go out of your way to buy a new MBP just to run Linux. Though I wonder what the used M1 market is looking like these days.
