I believe USB-C works now. I’d check their IRC channel or forum for details—they also have a Mastodon account. The M1 Air is likely the best MacBook for it.

Thanks to Asahi Linux, you can run Linux on some M1 and M2 Macs, though some features are still missing.

No, it doesn’t. macOS was originally UNIX-based but has diverged so much that the comparison is pointless. GNU in GNU/Linux stands for “GNU’s Not UNIX.”
Even if it were Linux, you’d still need Apple’s closed-source drivers to make it work.

EOS has a terrible security record—no verified boot, outdated software, few firmware updates, and I’m pretty sure they shipped debug builds for a while. MicroG is also worse for security than sandboxed Play Services.

Perhaps if you don’t value security. They have a terrible track record when it comes to firmware updates.

You probably installed it there. But why would you use a non native application for something like this? You are better off learning a new manager or using cli

Vm is going to have terrible performance unless u do a gpu pass through which is fairly complicated if you’ve never used Linux before (many tools now exist to simplify it).
Dual booting is also terrible and breaks all the time. The only games that won’t work are certain games with anti cheat
