How is Linux on the M1 Macbook Pro? (lemmy.world)

I'm looking to pick up an old M1 macbook from my work if I can slap linux on it and turn it into a usable laptop. Its the A2338

I'm most worried about hardware support and running into constant wifi, keyboard and software bugs.

Does anyone have experience using this class of device with linux?

Linux on Apple Silicon is a totally different story than it was for Intel Macs because of the work put in by the Asahi team. It's actually one of my favorite pieces of hardware to run Linux on. The trackpad works great too, btw.
