I need a brand new MacBook Air for school... and well, I FINALLY get to be able to use heavier apps like- well OpenTTD... than on my Pi 3B on a GNU/Linux system (Pis are so underpowered)! Bluetooth a little wacky, although I just use a cable with my headphones. My M240 Silent mouse works great on it, however!

Exactly what it says on the tin. Moving away from macOS in the future.
What is Asahi Linux?
Asahi Linux is a project and community with the goal of porting Linux to Apple Silicon Macs, starting with the 2020 M1 Mac Mini, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro.
Our goal is not just to make Linux run on these machines, but to polish it to the point where it can be used as a daily OS. Doing this requires a huge amount of work to be done, as Apple Silicon is a completely undocumented platform. In particular, we will be reverse engineering the Apple GPU architecture and developing an open source driver for it.
Asahi Linux was founded by Hector Martin “marcan” after the launch of the first M1 devices.
