Linux on an MacBook Air M1

Is it too early to give this a go as a new Linux user? From my research online Asahi is my option but it’s still very limited.

It works fairly well. A "daily driver" if you don't mind tinkering. Installed some basic dev tools, runtimes, and container workloads. You'll miss some QOL and efficiencies compared to macOS, and I couldn't quite get the trackpad to feel as good, but that's pretty par-for-the-course when it comes to running a non-macOS OS on a MacBook.

Since dual-boot is the default install option, doesn't hurt to carve other some space for Asahi and give it a whirl. You're intended to be able to use both on the same system as needed.
