I mean, if the hardware runs Linux well, it's not that ridiculous to recommend it. Forget the Apple software part.

Can everyone that has spent at least one month using Linux on an M1 as a daily driver please respond with their experiences, so we know that this "Linux on an M1" recommendation is valid?

It doesn't run linux anywhere near as well as a X1 Carbon. I get daily crashes on a fresh install on a M1 Mac after only a couple weeks of having it. My X1 Carbon has been running strong for nearly a year with no memorable crashes during that time period.

There's software I can't even install because there aren't arm versions of it available.

We know the current hw doesn't.
