Edit: Guys I didn't write the headline; the subtitle that I added, I've now fixed tho
Edit: Also, the information about there being no escape is out of date -- here's a quick guide to how to fix the problem in the modern day

Well I wish someone had told me. I got my 1st Mac in 2020 after 30 years of windows .
Need a linux arm laptop asap I guess.
You could run Linux on the Mac, you know.
The builds for Arm are pretty limited last time I checked.
Didn't you just say that

Though?
Asahi Linux has matured extremely quickly for the M-series ARM Macs. Try it virtualized in a UTM vm if you wanna take a peek.
Is virtualized good enough for general use? I would want to test for a while before jumping, trying real usage.
Good enough to test drive the OS awhile and get a feel for their OS and desktop environment? Absolutely. Good enough to test their low-level device drivers on your Mac hardware? Not really. For that you'll want to build a live-boot image on USB stick. Asahi was built expressly with the intent to run linux natively on apple silicon hardware though, so your chances are pretty good that everything should just work. Start with a vm though, see if you even like their environment. It should run pretty fast since it'll just be virtualized on native hardware and not emulated.
Have fun!
You can probably find instructions to make a DIY laptop using a Raspberry Pi4 or similar. Nowhere as powerful as a M1, but Raspbian works fine
The Raspberry Pi is full of proprietary software and requires a custom kernel. I would choose a board that can run mainline
What one and what price?
