As far as I understand, the only Linux you can install on an M CPU is Asahi linux. Apple is not doing anything actively, but is also doing nothing to help linux be ported.

A big issue there is that there’s a massive backlog of patches to land in the kernel and Asahi are currently working on reducing that.

Once that’s done, any distro should be able to work.

You have no idea how much work everyone inside the kernel and iBoot teams at Apple put into making it possible to run Linux on those MacBooks!
