If you buy 2ndhand m1 or m2, the fedora Asahi remix works pretty good IRL. No, m3/4/5 are not ready, far from it.
USB4/Thunderbolt support is still very preliminary and with 2 ports on MacBook Air you’re going to have to use a docking station to connect displays and peripherals. It’s getting there though and hopefully it’ll be usable by the time they’re EoL’d. Can’t wait because with each MacOS release I feel increasingly like a victim of bait and switch.
Worth noting that OpenBSD is also making progress.
As long as my current setup works i won’t change anything, but yes, Asahi and a used/refurbished Apple product could be a solid choice in the future.
