Untrue, Apple does permit you to replace your kernel on Apple Silicon macs. Hector Martin has a Patreon where you can sponsor and follow his work towards making Linux usable on these systems: https://www.patreon.com/marcan

That's great, let's wait and see when this actually happens and if it turns into a compelling alternative. I think Apple hit it out of the park with their ARM line so I'd love to use the hardware with an OS of my choosing, like I would historically on a standard PC.

Yeah - I'm backing the patreon and very excited for this work. I don't need it often, but when I do, being able to boot natively into Linux is tremendously useful.
