From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Not M1 but I tried installing Mint in my touch bar 2021 MBP and zero components worked. No track pad, no keyboard, wifi, Bluetooth etc.
Apple doesn't provide the drivers.
While that is likely true, Asahi is a bespoke Linux distribution for Apple hardware. It's what it was made for. At this point most of the stuff in the M1 is working fine on Asahi, as far as I've read. They even got 3D graphics working recently.
Oh right on! Maybe I'll try that then, that MBP is collecting dust so I'd love to put it to good use. Thanks for the info.
Ah sorry I misinterpreted your comment. I see it's specifically for Silicon Macs. Mine's Intel :( I got too excited.
