What is Linux story on ARM macbooks


With macbooks being several orders faster than any other laptop it may not be that bad of a Idea to run Linux on MacBooks. How good can ARM MacBooks run Linux?

There are no drivers and no documentation that would make it easy to write drivers. The checkra1n jailbreaking team is planning to port Linux but "it'll take a while to bear its fruits". https://www.realworldtech.com/forum/?threadid=196533&curpost...

The hardware security features are currently preventing that from happening.

I would also like to see that work, but I’m starting to think that we need to regard Apple on Arm as a lift for the technology overall but not necessarily a win for the community
