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!

Nobody listens to him. But he was right all along.
