Asahi Linux basically works. The main issue is that Linux software, especially proprietary, does not play nice with ARM.

That can only be proprietary sw. Almost every program I know works on arm64, thanks to availability of the platform through raspberry pi.

Discord, Spotify, and MS Teams desktop apps are not usable. Some of them you can use the web apps, but for things like Spotify, not even the web app works since the web DRM doesn't work on ARM.

My point is that this isn't Apple's doing. The hardware works fine and is mostly unrestricted. It's the end user software that causes major issues.
