> Linux on Mac will become a reality

Linux on Mac is absolutely a reality [1], and Apple specifically supported it by deliberately leaving a documented/supported mechanism for another OS kernel to be loaded.

I don't want to take away from the hard work put in by the Asahi project because it is amazing.

Linux on Apple Silicon is not a reality on my M5 Pro. I run Asahi on my M1 Pro, but I cannot use my USB-C dock with it and, while amazing, cannot practically use the GPU for gaming or local LLMs.

This limits my ability to practically use it for work and play.

Yes absolutely Linux on Mac is not good enough. However Apple left the door open and it's just that the community is crawling too slowly.
