Initial M1 support merged into Linux SoC tree

I'd recommend buying one of the new Laptops with actual, official LVFS support by the vendor. My new (Tiger Lake) Dell XPS 13 for example even has support for the fingerprint reader, face unlock etc. by default, and the new ThinkPads and many other High-End models come with Linux support and Linux pre-installed nowadays. They also have a proper hibernation toggle (Linux/Windows mode) in the BIOS so it "just works".

Indeed I too have a new XPS and I was pleasantly surprised that everything works fine. Also Linux updates for Bulbasaur are quite regular visitors.

I have a tiger lake XPS 13 as well and have been unable to get S3 deep sleep to work. Have you?

Are you somehow explicitly testing S3? S3 is obsolete on new hardware — it was replaced by S0ix. The kernel and userspace are supposed to be able to handle this.
