Asahi focusing on M1 would also encourage secondary market sales of M1 laptops, which are already a primary competitor (see Apple marketing) to current Apple laptops. If Apple wanted to encourage Asahi Linux users to move from M1 or Qualcomm to M5/M6 Apple devices, they could improve device firmware compatibility with Linux, or contribute directly to mainline Linux. |

My assumption is that if they ever decided they would provide support for Linux, it would be a private Mac-linux fork.
It's hard to imagine they would go the shim + blob route like nvidia as that would still require upstreaming stuff.
Honestly, they should just document their hardware so we can write our own drivers without hurclean reverse engineering efforts.
