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.

personally think it will be like iphone soon and not with new machine but with firmware update
because is new capitalist trend like chinese companies hard locking bootloaders on phones like on iphone and more
i personally use mbp14 on NixOS and its awesomeeee soo much
and yes i deleted macos ignoring asahi team "you will dont get firmware updates"(for what? to get a brick because apple make new rules? to get slower machine because tim wants to you buy new M963773 Pro Max Ultra Plus) etc etc "how you will repair if something broke" (recoveryOS terminal just exist)

my next laptop will be framework if macbook die
linux works many times better than tim bloatware

Right now Asahi increases the value of ARM based Macs slightly since there's another market of people who will buy them.

Once Asahi means that people can keep end-of-life ARM based Macs running, the calculation for Apple will change.

Asahi Linux is basically top notch engineering for free. Unless it gets (really) big, I don't see any reason for Apple to even consider putting it down.
