for X_86 family for sure, but the experience on other chip set such as Apple Silicon (maybe the arms) for desktop usage are quite rough around the edges.

Linux works fine on ARM devices. The problem is lack of good (non-Apple) ARM devices, not Linux.

"Apple silicon?" Man, how well does OSX run on a raspberry pi? Clearly it's the inferior OS. /s

Never had issues with other ARM chips other than the Apple co-designed ones.

Oh, and if you have problems running Linux on Macs... That isn't Linux's fault.

But Apple ARM chips currently represent most of the laptop and desktop computer market share for ARM processors. Sure, Linux in embedded and semi-embedded capacity works perfectly well with almost all ARM (and even RISC-V) processors, but I doubt most of the people here will be switching to raspberry pi as the daily driver anytime soon.

Hopefully either Asahi support improves in the near future or Snapdragon X Elite support in Linux becomes a bit better.
